With the unprecedented turmoil in the capital markets, and the traditional public offering markets virtually closed, many companies are seeking alternatives means of raising equity capital. This webcast will explore some of these alternatives, including PIPEs and registered direct offerings, “at-the market” offerings, equity line financings, and rights offerings. Join these experts:

• Dave Lynn, Editor, TheCorporateCounsel.net and Partner, Morrison & Foerster LLP
• Lora Blum, Partner, Jones Day
• John Newell, Senior Counsel, Goodwin Procter LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

• What is a registered direct offering, and what are the differences between a registered direct and a PIPE transaction?
• What is an "at-the-market" offering, and how do they differ from equity line financings?
• How can companies use rights offerings to raise equity capital quickly?
