What are Private Placements?

Private Placements are non-public sales of shares or other securities without a prospectus to a closed group of investors. The companies which are selling shares in a form of a private placement may listed or unlisted companies. In most cases, these companies offer the shares at attractive discounts to the market price to incentivize potential investors to participate in the private placement.

Private placements enable companies to raise fresh capital to finance their current and future projects. If these funds are used the right way, it can lead to strong growth and therefore to a significantly increase of the share price and  the company’s valuation.

Another advantage  of private placements is the issuance of additional free warrants (= subscription rights to purchase additional shares at a certain price within a fixed period) on top of the subscribed shares. This attractive package offers subscribers to private placements the opportunity to make additional profits.

Why are private placements exclusive?

Private Placements are very exclusive and difficult to get into, it could be challenging to find good deals in the market especially when you live in different regions. For example, if you live in Germany or France and want to invest in a Canadian or Australian natural resource (gold/silver/copper) exploration/mining company, the only way would be to buy shares of this company from your local exchange but only if this stock is listed in your local exchange. This reduces your competitive advantage compared to people who participate in private placements, as they get discounted price for the same shares and on top a warrant.

Private Placements are only offered to a selected group of private-professional investors and institutions such as banks, insurance companies etc., sometimes called as eligible counter parties or professional investors
