Canadian RTO Shell Companies & Reverse Takeover
Are you looking to complete a Reverse Take Over?If your company is considering a Reverse Takeover, identifying a potential reporting issuer or shell company is only the starting point. The target must be evaluated in the context of the proposed transaction, its corporate and reporting status, liabilities, capital structure, shareholder distribution, exchange or trading status and other factors that can affect execution.
ITB assists private companies in identifying and evaluating potential Canadian public shells for an RTO. The process focuses on transaction fit and diligence—including capitalization, liabilities, disclosure history, exchange status, shareholder distribution, outstanding securities and transaction economics—rather than treating a shell as a commodity or promising availability.
What ITB Screens For
ITB can help identify and commercially screen potential Canadian reporting issuers based on the client’s transaction requirements. Screening can include publicly available corporate and market information, transaction fit and the principal issues that should be investigated further by legal, accounting and other professional advisers.
Shell Selection & Transaction Fit
A potential shell should be assessed as part of the proposed RTO structure, not as a standalone asset. Valuation, share structure, liabilities, disclosure status, financing requirements, shareholder distribution and the target exchange can all affect whether a transaction is workable. See our transaction valuation services.
RTO Process Support
Where a suitable candidate is identified, ITB will also support the broader RTO transaction consulting and coordination process, working with management and the professional team as the transaction advances.
