In good markets or bad, reverse mergers play a key role for companies that want to avoid the hipo route for going public. Since the successful first edition in 2006, the economic regulatory landscape has seen substantial changes - and owners, senior executives, investors, regulators and others need to know what these changes mean for this dynamic financial sector. Reverse-merger expert David Feldman gives an overview of the most important changes since the 2006 edition - including new sec regulations, the changing nature of spacs (special purpose acquisition companies), and the emergence of new instruments such as wrasps (westpark alternative senior exchange process). The book inlcudes a new chapter on China, and the 'experts speak' chapter features all new interviewees.
