Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings (FSE Listings) July Report To Clients and Companies Looking To Go Public
New Frankfurt Listings
Within the month of July there have been 5 firms listed on the Entry Standard and 18 firms listed on the Open Market (Regulated Unofficial Market) at FWB® Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange).
FSE Listings Inc, www.fselistings.com remains the leading source of public listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with 3 Frankfurt Listings in the month of July and no delistings of clients during the month of July.
Frankfurt Delistings vs Frankfurt Listings
It has been clear that several firms who have not contracted FSE Listings Inc to build their structure before Frankfurt listing have suffered from delisting of their company due to market trading requirements and the loose structures of other going public firms and merger law groups. Several of the going public companies ask for shares when companies go public, these shares released into the open market damage the obligation of the company to make a market. If these shares cause the market makers liability for placing a bid and ask, without a liquid market, the firms that list you could in effect cause the delisting of your firm. It is important that you always consult with FSE Listings Inc before you issue any shares in your firm. Several clients of these fast track express listings Frankfurt law firms, merger law groups or associates of such listings firm have all faced delisting possibly as their structures did not meet the 10 cents euro requirement, 500,000 euro capital, and bid & ask requirement of 2,000 to maintain a market. More importantly, they have not been able to keep up an active market in the shares of their firms or raise capital! The lack of experience of the listing firms have caused several companies to delist, and we expect many more to follow if they have not been listed by FSE Listings Inc or who have not taken explicit advice of FSE Listings and the market maker.
If you are an already listed firm and are afraid of delisting, please contact info@fselistings.com and we may be able to consult with your firm. Your listing is important to us. If you are thinking of listing, the only place you should go to is www.fselistings.com

FSE Listings: Listing on the Open Market (First Quotation Board) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
The main listing requirements for the First Quotation Board are:
- Free float requirement (at least 30 initial shareholders)
- Minimum share capital of 500,000 Euro
- An ordinary share par value of 0.10 Euro
- An Issuer Data Form with supporting documents, such as Business Plan, 5 year projections, Auditor Verification of the details of the Opening Balance Sheet and share capital, etc.
A prospectus is not required, the issuer data form and supporting document, in addition to the share capital sufficiently clear the firm for listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The listing therefore does not require clearing through BaFin, where a prospectus does. The Issuer Data From pertains to where there is no public offering, that the company is primarily raising capital through Private Placement and exemptions that allow for capital to be raised. Some of these exemptions could include, owners of companies, investors with capital to invest over 50,000 euro, frequent investors categorized as Qualified, Sophisticated, and Accredited investors. The subscription agreement and jurisdiction therefore covers these requirements and the method of retaining the investors.
A Frankfurt Stock Exchange BaFin prospectus is applicable, where the Issuer Data Form allows for the companies to contact institutional investors and high-networth investors, the institutions are often limited to investment to companies that have successfully filed with BaFin a prospectus. A prospectus ranges from 30k-80k Euro on average, and depends per company and what is required by the Investment Bank and Broker Dealer. It is often not as simple as just building one to have one, this is partly why many companies build it after listing and at the requirement of a firm who will commit money. Meeting these firms are usually done through Roadshows, contacting investment bankers and designated sponsors over the Internet in Germany is probably the most ineffective way to progress. The best is to hire a firm, such as FSE Listings Inc’s partners to personally deliver the contacts to you and discuss the goals and requirements to invest in your firm after listing.
The Open Market Entry Standard
The Open Market Entry Standard is a little more complex with its requirements over the First Quotation Board, where by there is a minimum 1 year of corporate existence, free-float requirement (at least 30 initial shareholders), minimum share capital of 500,000 Euro.
In general, the requirements and obligations after listing a firm on the Entry Standard include publication of facts which may materially affect the market price of the issuer’s securities, audited consolidated financial statements not later than six months after the end of the reporting period, interim reports within 3 months of the end of the first half of the financial year.
Various listing committees, audit committees, and governance are recommended in order to prepare to move up the various higher levels of the exchange into the General and Prime Standard. We recommend to more clients to begin as an Open Market Frankfurt Listing with capital to build a prospectus as a development stage company and then progress to the upper tiers of the exchange. Recently several of the new listings on the General Standard were Entry Standard firms that progressed their listing.

- You own 100% of the company when you list yourself
- If you can’t afford 60,000 euro, you should not be considering going public as you will not be able to afford staying public.

European Biotech IPOs and Listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are back in demand with a new wave of successful European biotechs, many of which are from Scandanavia and Asian Countries, all of which are winning investor interests and stepping over the past firms and pulled IPOs of the past.
Many of the planned IPOs pulled in 2007 and 2008 have piled up in the pipeline of listings with renewed faith in the market and investor interest deterred from Alternative Energy Stocks and Mining Stocks for the time being, the greatest growing sector of IPOs and Listings could be the Biotech and Pharma industries.
A significant amount of firms focus on Genes and rare diseases, with a few mass market applications of biotech in the medical device industry. Biotech is one of the world’s most important technology clusters for the advancement of human progress as it pertains to development goals of clean water, healthier living workforces, and application to food and health in general. With growing global populations, there is an ever present requirement in the Biotech sector to service the issues facing both developed and developing Countries.
“Europe’s biotech sector has stumbled in the past but there is now renewed talk of stock market listings and trade sales via the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.” Mark Bragg, FSE Listings Inc (http://www.fselistings.com)
There are signs the market is recovering from recent tough years and 2011 could see more IPOs, with investor interest in places like Amsterdam and Brussels encouraging, although the overall picture is fragile. “The market is improving. In Europe, a few biotech IPOs are being planned,” one banker said recently.
Samples of successful recent buyouts such as the Netherlands and Belgium are a hotspot, helped by the sentiment-boosting $2.4 billion buyout of Dutch vaccine maker Crucell by Johnson & Johnson and high hopes for Belgian biotech star performer ThromboGenics. Some German and Austrian IPOs are also on the cards, bankers say.
Last year saw the emergence of a new group of well-financed European biotechs worth $500 million or more, including ThromboGenics, Sweden’s Medivir, Denmark’s Bavarian Nordic, Sweden’s Diamyd Medical and Norway’s Algeta, he said.

It is true, FSEListings.com’s stock exchange listings consortium has also listed over 30 firms on the TSX within our consortium, including building CPCs, selling CPCs, building TSX companies, selling TSX companies. We have also been involved with 100s of listings, such as building OTCBB companies, selling OTCBB companies, ASX, AIM, PLUS, CNSX and Frankfurt. Our consortium developed firms and or worked with firms that have literally listed over 2000 companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. We are leaders in this field, and the most experienced professionals.
According to available information from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange its volume ranking is actually higher than that quoted by the World Stock Exchange reports, and with the new trading rules within Frankfurt as of May 23, we expect the exchanges volume to increase if not double if companies meet this requirement. As the premier group for listings globally (we run otclistings.com, stockexchangelistings.com, etc, for all the exchanges globally) FSE Listings Inc and our consortium have found the Frankfurt Listings to be more cost effective than any Canadian listings or US listings.
In addition, regardless of the other exchanges benefits of transparency for investors, the cost to new companies generally drives the businesses into shell status or depletes funds that could be used to develop the business effectively hindering investors placements to begin with… if I was an investor I would like to see funds going towards running the business not just keeping it public. The TSX, ASX, AIM, and OTCBB/NASDAQ being all over $100k per annum to maintain, even three times that when considering the legal, auditting, commitees that must be maintained and filing.
The TSX often is hindered by the requirement of broker warrants with financing options, and most of the listings are limited to initial support of listing and then the companies are on their own. Sometimes dual listing onto other exchanges helps the Canadian liquidity, but for the most part, a very small portion of their companies trade. (A few larger traders make up the majority of the TSX trading volume, a large iliquid market). The OTCBB also suffers the terminal disease of no trading or promotion which is regulated and for the most part a sure way to tarnish your business. Europe’s open regulations in terms of promotions, use of media, and disclosure requirements actually allow companies to get more positive exposure without the concern of negative outcomes. In addition, your stock price is not beaten down by warrants, brokers, and short selling aside from your market makers 2,000 shares on the bid and ask, the market is a natural market. Much healthier for public image. As you get into the higher boards, TSX not TSX.V or NASDAQ, not OTCBB, you do get a lot more natural markets. However it is costly to get there. The reality is you are right, there are other options to IPOs, such as mergers, acquisitions, and sale of assets, but IPOs and listings are not just exit strategies. We co-ordinate at least 10 mergers per annum for exit strategies, we are actually working on a few right now in the IT sector and power plant sector. Private firms that simply didn’t want to go through the process of listing, but essentially that’s an exit strategy. I however disagree with the notion going public is for only an exit strategy… that’s misinformed. Its to enable liquidity of the shares, it can be used as an exit, IPOs and the book making part of it could exit some founder shares and finance the firm, but the reality is its to:
- raise money
- gain exposure
- get international attention versus just the retail interest of your local market
- increase the value of your assets and business which were otherwise illiquid
- build a structure of which you can grow, use shares to acquire assets, and build a successful enterprise
Although it is an exit for some, there are many more benefits to going public. If you are a smaller enterprise with big hopes of growing, being financed, and someday allowing shareholders to exit, the fastest way is on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange bar none with FSE Listings Inc. No one can contest that. We list about 5-6 companies a month, 9-10 companies right now, but it varies. Trully if you want to list firms, merger with firms, build a public company to acquire assets and or other companies, increase the value of your firm, and have an exit… then a listing is probably the best option.
Although we have seen in the IT sector a lot of acquisitions as of late, most of it is purchase of websites and traffic, and building up large traffic bases in a specific market. That can be done, but organically, there may be 10 such opportunities you want to buy and getting public money would be the fastest. Thats just a simple roll-up example that a public company would be vital for.
Please contact us, we are probably one of the most effective firms for answering these questions and the most experience in general on all exchanges in the World. Sometimes the most effective way is to stay private and raise the capital. We can coach you through this process to with the end goal being a public offering or listing as discussed. You can start as low as 15k euro, which gives all the tools to raise capital and build your business.
