What is a Registered Direct Offering (RDO)?

► A hybrid offering combining the marketing appeal of a PIPE with the pricing of an
  underwritten public offering which is quicker to close than both


► A public offering of registered securities pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement
  on Form S-3 (F-3 for foreign issuers) sold directly to a select group of institutional investors


► The issuer can offer and sell a variety of securities, however most issue common stock
                                             securities


► Marketed to potential institutional investors before an offering is announced, allowing
  issuers to test the market without the publicity (
                                         p       y (and opportunities for arbitrage) associated
                                                         pp                      g )
  with traditional public offerings


► Privately negotiated transaction with investors who are typically required to enter into
  confidentiality agreements b f
      fid i li                before b i provided with full information about the offering
                                     being     id d i h f ll i f       i   b      h ff i


► RDOs are typically announced and priced on the same day

Advantages of RDOs

► F t confidential, flexible, and efficient fi
  Fast,  fid ti l fl ibl        d ffi i t financing alternative to follow-on offerings
                                                i    lt    ti t f ll          ff i

► Issuers can “test” the market without attracting publicity using targeted marketing to a select
  group of qualified institutional investors

► Issuer’s stock usually does not become exposed to the speculative trading that often
  accompanies a fully marketed follow-on offering (less likely to have “shorting” activity)

► Confidential undertaking until an actual transaction is announced, typically immediately
  prior to pricing or at pricing

► Particularly useful way to respond to reverse inquiry opportunities or to accommodate
  institutional investors that would like to accumulate a significant position in a company

► Does not require steep discounts to market price relative to typical PIPEs; priced similarly to
  follow-on offerings
  f ll       ff i


► Faster, less expensive and less management time commitment than an underwritten follow-
  on offering

  • 4. What is a Registered Direct Offering (RDO)? ► A hybrid offering combining the marketing appeal of a PIPE with the pricing of an underwritten public offering which is quicker to close than both ► A public offering of registered securities pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (F-3 for foreign issuers) sold directly to a select group of institutional investors ► The issuer can offer and sell a variety of securities, however most issue common stock securities ► Marketed to potential institutional investors before an offering is announced, allowing issuers to test the market without the publicity ( p y (and opportunities for arbitrage) associated pp g ) with traditional public offerings ► Privately negotiated transaction with investors who are typically required to enter into confidentiality agreements b f fid i li before b i provided with full information about the offering being id d i h f ll i f i b h ff i ► RDOs are typically announced and priced on the same day 3

  • 6. Advantages of RDOs ► F t confidential, flexible, and efficient fi Fast, fid ti l fl ibl d ffi i t financing alternative to follow-on offerings i lt ti t f ll ff i ► Issuers can “test” the market without attracting publicity using targeted marketing to a select group of qualified institutional investors ► Issuer’s stock usually does not become exposed to the speculative trading that often accompanies a fully marketed follow-on offering (less likely to have “shorting” activity) ► Confidential undertaking until an actual transaction is announced, typically immediately prior to pricing or at pricing ► Particularly useful way to respond to reverse inquiry opportunities or to accommodate institutional investors that would like to accumulate a significant position in a company ► Does not require steep discounts to market price relative to typical PIPEs; priced similarly to follow-on offerings f ll ff i ► Faster, less expensive and less management time commitment than an underwritten follow- on offering 5
