ICA also acts as an agent in the private placements of debt and equity securities for companies worldwide through our dedicated network of private placement investors. Relying on our extensive network of relationships with domestic institutional investors combined with our alliance and other offshore fund partners, we provide private placement services for middle-market companies, including many public companies that seek access to private capital.

Because private placements can be completed in less time, at a lower cost, and often with greater predictability than public offerings, they may be an attractive alternative to raising capital in the public markets. Frequently, the private placement market is the only practical source of capital available to a company. Over the years, our investors have assisted numerous companies with financing the expansion of profitable operations through privately-placed senior secured and unsecured loans, mezzanine securities, high-yield notes, convertible debentures, and preferred and common equity.

Private placements are appropriate for middle-market companies in a variety of circumstances, which we categorize as follows:

	Capital for Growth, Working Capital Requirements
	ESOP Financing
	Corporate Restructurings
	Financing for Leveraged Acquisitions and Buy-outs
	Recapitalizing the Balance Sheet

Each of our clients' journeys is optimized by the work of our Private Placement Groups to effectively prepare them for the private market. They do this by using their extensive industry and product expertise and creatively structuring transactions that meet our clients unique capital needs. In order for our clients to benefit from the most value-added investors, we leverage our strong relationships with the top private equity, international, crossover and strategic investors.
