2011 has been a resurgent year for the private placements industry.
According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, more than $13.5 billion in
deals were closed in the first quarter, representing the best first quarter
ever for the industry. Deals did not slow down in the second quarter
with nearly $12 billion in deals circled as reported by the Private
Placement Letter.
For the past quarter of a century, the Private Placements Industry
Forum has served as a meeting place and sounding board for all market
participants. As many issuers, investors, and agents have told me, the
business year doesn’t really begin until the Private Placements Industry
Forum has taken place.
As an attendee, take advantage of sessions in the morning that focus
on issues affecting the entire industry, while using your afternoons
to network with colleagues or attend seminars that will help improve
your decision making process.
There is no better way to strengthen your existing relationships and
build new ones than by convening once again at the 25th Annual
Private Placements Industry Forum, January 23 - 25, 2012 at the
Turnberry Isle in Miami.
I look forward to seeing you in Miami in January.

Dear Colleague,
Issuer Focus: Newly formatted “Turn the Tables” Issuers’
Breakfast allows issuing company executives to question
investors and agents about concerns and challenges regarding
investing and originating deals in the private placement
market. Plus, this year more issuers will be added to the “Issuer
Roundtables” allowing you to connect with more companies,
including those that closed some of the biggest deals in 2011.
Formalized Networking: At your request, we can set up
conference rooms for your afternoon meeting needs. For more
information, see page 3.
Training Modules: Need more knowledge on infrastructure
project finance? Haven’t done a real estate deal in a while and
need retraining? How is the threat of inflation going to impact
consumer prices? Use the afternoon to get perspective and
deeper understanding of sectors in the industry where frequent
capital raises take place. Also improve your amendments,
covenants and due diligence documentation process by
attending a training workshop.
New Sessions: Take advantage of economic trends taking
place globally. Hear from top investment bank economists
on their views of the global economic outlook and corporate
lending in 2012. Learn from legal experts about creditors’ rights
across various global jurisdictions and evaluate the role of direct
origination in private placements.

  • 2. Register Now! Call +1 888.670.8200 US; +1 941.951.7885 Int’l • E-mail register@iirusa.com2 2011 has been a resurgent year for the private placements industry. According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, more than $13.5 billion in deals were closed in the first quarter, representing the best first quarter ever for the industry. Deals did not slow down in the second quarter with nearly $12 billion in deals circled as reported by the Private Placement Letter. For the past quarter of a century, the Private Placements Industry Forum has served as a meeting place and sounding board for all market participants. As many issuers, investors, and agents have told me, the business year doesn’t really begin until the Private Placements Industry Forum has taken place. As an attendee, take advantage of sessions in the morning that focus on issues affecting the entire industry, while using your afternoons to network with colleagues or attend seminars that will help improve your decision making process. There is no better way to strengthen your existing relationships and build new ones than by convening once again at the 25th Annual Private Placements Industry Forum, January 23 - 25, 2012 at the Turnberry Isle in Miami. I look forward to seeing you in Miami in January.

Formalized Networking: At your request, we can set up conference rooms for your afternoon meeting needs. For more information, see page 3. Training Modules: Need more knowledge on infrastructure project finance? Haven’t done a real estate deal in a while and need retraining? How is the threat of inflation going to impact consumer prices? Use the afternoon to get perspective and deeper understanding of sectors in the industry where frequent capital raises take place. Also improve your amendments, covenants and due diligence documentation process by attending a training workshop. New Sessions: Take advantage of economic trends taking place globally. Hear from top investment bank economists on their views of the global economic outlook and corporate lending in 2012. Learn from legal experts about creditors’ rights across various global jurisdictions and evaluate the role of direct origination in private placements.
