Public Companies cannot afford to ignore social media, they need to embrace and learn it!

“The reality is that blogging, tweeting, facebook, discussion forums, linked in, slideshare, and all of the other great tools used for social media have been utilized by public companies and small businesses, but the majority of public companies have no social media or Social PR strategy. That’s not surprising as 50% of companies who try social media don’t have a plan” Say Ryan Gibson from PublishKnowledge.com. All of the strategies that drive the websites managed by Gibson, he claims was due to Guerrilla Marketing Strategies of Jay Conrad Levinson executed on the Internet.

With over 175 blogs under management within the financial social media sector Gibson brings up a good point. Mr. Gibson is the brother of Guru and Social Media Author Shane Gibson, who wrote the book Sociable and his most recent book is “Guerrilla Social Media Marketing” co-authored with world famous Jay Conrad Levinson.  As you may recall over a year ago, OTC Listings wrote a blog on the 20 TIPS for Social Media Marketing for Public Companies: http://www.otclistings.com/?p=26

Since then there have been research reports looking at the adoption rate of IR on 5 social media methods and tools, which was broken down to:

• 37% Facebook
• 29% YouTube
• 10% Corporate blog
• 10% SlideShare
• 93% LinkedIn

The main reason for embracing social media with a company’s IR and PR campaign is the trackable results. How many times have you heard about internet marketers pointing at a stock price and saying I told you so, or I did that, etc. The reality is it is hot air, smoke and mirrors, and for lack of a better term, untrackable.

One of my first lessons in Internet Marketing for public companies was in setting up a Newsletter. The reason was that when press releases went out, internet marketing occurred, or there was good news on your firm, the campaign was only trackable by what the stock price did, and the true interest was never measurable. However, if month on month your newsletter is growing bigger and bigger for your public company, than you know when your interest is growing as well!

Newsletters are very much one sided communication, thus, social media is the BUZZ marketing that one should be paying attention to in the tracking strategy. Things you can track, such as number of hits on your social media profiles, the specific posts, the referring links back to your website that people have clicked on, the number of followers, friends, fans, and linked people to your firm and self. All of these tools equate to growth in a company’s image, investor base, IR and PR. The best time to start is right away, any IR and PR person how is responsible has tried to start building a social media presence. The reality is if you are going to start this process on your own, you need to consider Guerrilla Social Media Marketing. This is the tipping point of Social Media in IR and PR strategies! Do you remember when email marketing use to really work? Well it took years for companies to build those newsletters and lists, by getting involved with social media marketing now, you become the next generation of investor relations.

The reality is that 50% of companies entering into Social Media have NO PLAN. One such invaluable source of social media tools and tips for building a plan is from the book Guerrilla Social Media Marketing which we give our full 100% support behind as the top book in the industry that every IR, PR, and Public company marketing department should purchase. By reading this book, you will be able to track better the results of IR campaigns, develop a base of interested investors and potential investors in your firm, and develop advocates for your firm by using proven public relations strategies.

The book was published this year, and is one of the most timely pieces of writing on social media for this decade.

TSX Listing for Sale Fully Deliverable!

Many people ask what makes FSE Listings Inc leading professionals in taking firms public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The relationship. The preferred suppliers who we deal with and the care for the companies structure and time to market. When we say we can list a firm in 3 – 6 weeks, a great deal of care goes into the process, tracking, managing, and executing.

At the end of the day, we always get the question what is the process and what is the cost. The easier way is to simply tell you.

Firstly your firm needs to have 500,000 euro’s of paid in capital to qualify to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. However, this can now be shareholder equity. (One of the reasons why Frankfurt Shells actually are worth 125,000 to 150,000 euros) If you do not have the company incorporated yet, FSE Listings Inc, will assist in incorporating a structure of which you can take public. (UK PLCs, Irish PLCs, Spanish, Dutch, Canadian, US, Australian, BVI, Jersey, Guernsey) The structure depends on the availability of the company to register electronically or not. We prefer working with Irish and UK PLCs. The European Holding Company requires the assistance of a legal team to ensure the trading certificate is achieved, the shareholder structure is complete, the resolutions and articles make it possible to list on the Frankfurt stock exchange and disseminate shares into an electronic system such as Xetra. Once the company is registered, the 500,000 euro can be deposited into the company for shares, paid-in capital, or equivalent asset for shareholder equity. The amount can be more, this is a minimum. With the articles, incorporation certificate, and proof of par value, an application is made for the ISIN. Once this is complete, an agreement is signed with a registrar and clearing agent to allow for the shares to be electronically registered. The company’s business plan and expose are reviewed by the FSE Listings due diligence team before being passed along to the designated sponsor with certification from the CEO of the number of shareholders and capital in, certification from an auditor of the capital in component, an opening balance sheet, financials, and the required forms. Once the Sponsor has reviewed the documents, the application to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is completed with the compilation of information and electronically submitted to the Deutsche Borse. On occasion a company health check may be required by the clearing house to ensure all of this documentation has been done properly before trading. The symbol is supplied by an independent third party company. Once the application is complete it comes to the trading portion. It is important that the company work with the right professionals to assist with the deposit of the shares and tradability factor. FSE Listings makes the introductions and completes the full circle of taking a company public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In some occasions, the requirement of a third-party valuation may be required, such as in a case where we managed to secure a 500 million euro market cap for one of our clients, the incoming assets in order to justify the share price and the asset value required the third party evaluation.

Once the shares are registered and ready for trading there are a few options:

1. Road show the company to investment groups in Germany and who are interested in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
2. Apply for an Equity Line of Credit
3. Begin the process necessary for funding via private equity

The Exchange fee is 5000 euro per annum. Generally with a listing agent such as FSE Listings, the first annum is paid for within the fees.

The only other additional costs that companies may incur is related to the Corporate Governance of the Country they are in and not the exchange, thus legal expenses most likely are part of the process of preparing resolutions, issuances, reporting standards, and filings related to foreign requirements outside of Germany.

In total, the process can range from 3-6 weeks depending on the preparedness of the company, the structure of the firms articles and resolutions, and the assistance such as FSE Listings can provide, along this path of listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. On average listing a company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange costs between 60,000 euro to 150,000 euro, depending on whether it is just listing, listing and  incorporation, listing, incorporation, and custodianship, or all of the above and a road show with financing options. The fuller the package the more expensive the process.

However the benefit of listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is that you pay for a public company and process that takes a very short period of time, where as any other exchange in the world takes over 6 months, and by then your market could be changing or the opportunity decreasing. Access capital faster by going public quickly on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

What are the other benefits of listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange?

• Increased international exposure.
• Ability to raise equity capital in Europe and “Expand Your Market In Europe”
• Enhanced shareholder value.
• Increased shareholder breadth and market maker involvement for a future main board registration
• 254 international trading institutions admitted – more than 4,600 traders in 19 countries interlinked in a virtual listing and trading world
• Unsurpassed Liquidity
• More than 550 Depository programs and 9,000 shares from countries around the world
• are listed and traded on Deutsche Börse
• In the event of building an approved EU prospectus it’s a passport onto all of the other EU markets
• The Fastest Listing Process Worldwide
• Lowest Fees to Market Size comparison in the World
• Minimum reporting standards for Quotation Board companies until they have advanced to a mature entry standard level (More flexible than Sarbanes Oxley requirements in the US.)

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange Capital-In Requirement: FSE Open Market Listings (HAS CHANGED FEB 14th 2011)

In order to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange open market a company needs to have the appropriate amount of invested in Capital or shareholder equity. This is call the Capital –In. Frankfurt’s requirement explicitly demands that companies applying for admission onto the stock exchange have 500,000 euro’s invested in capital or shareholder equity.

What is invested in Capital?

Invested in capital is money that was paid into the corporation for shares. Therefore, the shares issued to date when the company applies to list onto the Frankfurt stock exchange must have at least 500,000 euro’s in value with the funds having been made in cash-consideration. (Real Money subscriptions)

What is it not?

-          Debt – unless it is a third party valuation supported debt document like a Promissory Note

-          Asset Value (Unless paid for from capital in or a promissory note)

-          Invested in Capital into a past asset (Only if it was purchased currently, in the last two months of which an auditor can verify)

-          Value in Shares (Asset- but I separate this because people often ask if shares count, they don’t, unless it is to purchase the entire asset as capital in)

-          Revenue

How to reflect the capital-in:

-          In an opening balance sheet for the company

-          In the companies financials

-          At the share registrar as paid for shares

-          (no longer applicable) With a Lawyers letter if the funds are in escrow on behalf of the company at that exact time

-          An auditors letter who has reviewed the financials and the banking information and can state the capital-in to be 500,000 euro shareholder equity

The required documentation at the time of listing is either the Lawyers letter or the Auditors Letter. However, often registrars will ask for further due diligence unrelated to the exchange’s requirement as one of the many internal self-managed gate keepers one would find in an open market environment.

If you have 500,000 euro’s capital-in or shareholder equity in your firm, and you would like to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, you should contact info@fselistings.com FSE Listings is one of the leading listing agents in the world specializing in listing foreign companies onto the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 3-6 weeks.
