(continued from front flap)
At a time when the U.S. economy is relying
on small- and medium-sized companies
to provide more jobs, the healthy functioning
of corporate boards is more critical than
ever. But the dialog on corporate governance
has thus far focused predominantly on large
corporations. As a result of one-size-fits-all
governance, small-cap companies are routinely
stymied by unique governance issues for which
there has been no objective, practical guidance
—
until now.
The Perfect Corporate Board offers best
practices designed specifically for smaller
companies. It identifies the key challenges
board members of smaller companies face on
a routine basis, and it provides the solutions to
resolve them. The book is organized into three
thematic sections:
Corporate Finance
—
selecting a financ¬
ing structure, hiring the right invest¬
ment bank, negotiating definitive terms
Capital Markets
—
the realities of small-
cap equity research, communicating
clearly with the Street, understanding
trading volume, stock buybacks, and
reverse stock splits
Professional Service Providers
—
hiring
and managing investor relations firms,
purchasing legal services, thinking like
an institutional investor
(continuée on
back flap)
The Perfect Corporate Board is filled with
what if? scenarios of small-cap situations
with a corresponding summary of suggested
analyses and more in-depth discussions of the
reasoning behind them.
If you are a small-cap director, The Perfect
Corporate Board is the ideal tool for analyzing
your governance challenges with an expertise
previously unheard of. It serves as a resource
you can return to again and again, as new
governance issues arise.
As American public companies struggle to
provide more jobs and better compete on the
international stage, The Perfect Corporate
Board assists both efforts by helping you
maximize decision-making effectiveness.
Adam Epstein is a corporate director
and capital markets expert with extensive
finance, legal, and operating experience.
He is a National Association of Corporate
Directors Board Leadership Fellow, and he
speaks and writes regularly in national forums
with respect to corporate governance. Prior to
governing and advising small-cap companies,
Mr. Epstein comanaged a special situation
hedge fund that invested in more than
500
small-cap financings. He has been featured
on CNN and in the Wall Street Journal and
has been quoted in, among others, Bloomberg
BusinessWeek, CBS Marketwatch, Reuters,
and Upper Hedge World.

the DEFINITIVE GUIDE
то
SMALL-CAP GOVERNANCE
With all the emphasis upon well-known large-cap multinationals, it s easy to overlook
the fact that more than seven out of every ten U.S.-listed public companies have market
capitalizations less than
$500
million. Not only are the vast majority of public companies small,
but most directors govern small companies
—
companies that aren t well known individually,
but collectively supply our country with the lion s share of its jobs and innovation.
Until now, there has been no governance book that addresses issues specific to these
companies. The Perfect Corporate Board covers governance issues unique to small public
companies and helps any board member:
Avoid conflicts of interest inherent in
outsourcing critical decision making
Minimize shareholder dilution through
the use of objective capital markets data
Develop a framework for analyzing recurring
small-cap governance issues
The Perfect Corporate Board helps you make better decisions for organizational success.
It provides objective, practical advice on such topics as analyzing prospective financings,
equity research, trading volume, short selling, investment banking, communicating with the
Street, stock buybacks, and hiring the right lawyers and auditors.
The Perfect Corporate Board empowers you to play a vital role in moving your company
beyond the next horizon.
