A successful IPO also involves corporate communications being adapted to suit the needs of the capital market.

As from the first announcement that an IPO is a possibility, the company is subject to the enhanced scrutiny of both the media and investors. For this reason, the positioning of the company, its entire website and reporting activities should already be named at this time so that all relevant queries can be answered in a comprehensive and sound manner (what may no longer be said and what may still be said). In the later course of the IPO, there are a large number of necessary and optional communication possibilities for making the company better known and more attractive for the going public process.

A really successful IPO is not only characterized by the fact that all the shares are placed successfully but also by the fact that the share price performs positively - at least in the first year. After all, many stock market magazines publish IPO rating lists, thus rendering price developments highly transparent indeed.

What is additionally of importance is that no information and contact gap whatsoever may be allowed to open up after the IPO. This is precisely what very often happens as the flotation process is so time-consuming.

This is why we would urgently advise the company concerned to commence looking at developing professional investor relation activities during the IPO, aiming to launch these immediately after the initial listing. The aim in so doing is, to firstly find new analysts who write studies on the company and secondly to address fund managers who weren't visited during the IPO road show. This is the only way of ensuring that the focus of the capital market remains sustainable on the share price.

In addition to active IPO communication IR CONSULT offers its clients ideally targeted ongoing investor relation activities in order to not only provide the main target groups - analysts, investors and financial journalists - with information but also to convince them of the company's chances of success and to get them on board.

As far as an IPO candidate is concerned, co-operation with IR CONSULT both prior and subsequent to flotation offers key advantages:

- no new familiarization
- immediate continuation of capital market communication
- rapid development of trust
- new contacts
- time for operating duties
- professional investor relations
- preparation for further, medium-term capital market plans
