Abstract

This is the first of a four-case series. 'I want to make sure that we approach this in a professional manner' said Alphons Buts, COO of Xeikon, a Belgian digital printing company which was contemplating a possible Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the NASDAQ market in the US. Although an informal consensus had emerged over the previous months concerning an IPO in the near future, the Xeikon board now needed to make a formal decision to go ahead with the process. Was this the right time? How should they approach the process? How should they select a lead manager for the transaction?
