2024.03.18

On March 10, Jipyong Capital Markets Group’s IPO Practice Research Association (hereinafter "Capital Markets Group") published "Jipyong IPO Practice Review (2024)," which explains various legal issues and problems that arise in the process of initial public offerings (IPOs) in Korea from a practical perspective. 
 
In recent years, the IPO market has been continuously changing, influenced by various factors such as institutional changes, external market factors, and social issues, along with the ongoing discussion of mandatory IPO legal due diligence. As a result, it is increasingly necessary for companies preparing for IPOs and lead underwriters to proactively identify and respond to changes in the listing system, external environment, and recent legal issues and regulatory trends to ensure a successful IPO. 
 
Based on the experience and accumulated know-how of successfully advising more than 120 domestic IPOs (based on completed listings), Jipyong Capital Markets Group has published this book to help CEOs and CFOs of companies preparing for IPOs, as well as underwriters, by summarizing legal issues and recent issues that frequently arise during the IPO preparation and review process. Jipyong Capital Markets Group hopes that "Jipyong IPO Practical Review (2024)" will serve as a useful compass for companies preparing for IPOs and listing sponsors in the process of preparing for listing, and will continue to update the Practical Review every year to communicate with clients and keep up with the lively issues in the field for the development of the Korean capital market. 
 
This book is organized into three chapters with a chapter summarizing the outcomes of the IPO market in 2023. Chapter 1 (Listing System in General) covers: ▲the significance of IPOs; ▲8 things CEOs need to know to succeed in IPOs; ▲IPO requirements; and ▲IPO procedures; Chapter 2 (Major Issues in Practice) covers: ▲management transparency and compromised internal controls, ▲management stability and shareholder agreements; ▲issues related to stock purchase options; ▲issues related to non-filing of securities reports; and ▲2023 major issues: a case study of a post-spin-off listing; and Chapter 3 (Specialized IPO Practices) covers: ▲IPOs by PEF managers and ▲IPOs by companies in which PEFs are the largest shareholders. 
 
"By continuously updating the Practice Review after the publication of this book, Jipyong Capital Markets Group will fulfill its role as an important gatekeeper in the IPO market and contribute to investor protection and the development of the IPO market," said Haeng Gyu Lee, Head of Jipyong Capital Markets Group and Chair of IPO Practice Research Association. "We will also contribute to the development of the Korean capital market by helping new IPO companies and their CEOs to lay the foundation for compliance management necessary to grow into global companies after listing." 
 
Meanwhile, Jipyong Capital Markets Group will host the "2024 Jipyong IPO Forum" on April 2 at 2 p.m. via webinar to wrap up the 2023 IPOs.
