In the case of IPO's, start-ups, and spin-offs...
The idea for being listed on the Gray Sheets is most likely for seven major reasons:
• to obtain a stock symbol, transfer agent, and shareholder base without attracting attention from the general public, at least for the time being.
• to formulate, structure, and pursue a business plan and operation for future growth and success.
• to gain a history of trading, and shareholder growth, until such time that a company qualifies to offer public shares, or to be traded on the Pink Sheets, OTCBB, or one of the stock exchanges. This all depends on the goals of a company and its qualifications.
• to accumulate shares from private and public sources in preparation to meet requirements to be listed on the Pink Sheets or OTCBB.
• to get an idea of the investor reception once they are officially traded (for IPO's).
• to gain investor awareness and potential funding/financing options.
• to limit the fees and regulations associated with Pink Sheets, OTCBB or the Stock Exchanges. Many start-ups do not qualify to register to trade on the other financial markets.
In addition, the costs associated with registering can be prohibitive.
The Grey Sheets offer a start-up company the opportunity to grow so that later they may meet the qualifications and expenses to be traded on a more prestigious financial market.
