demutualization services

You have a complex demutualization process to manage, with double the paperwork of a standard IPO. You have to get dozens of people—including lawyers, bankers, executives and more—all on the same page. And you have to make sure the information you send out to policyholders and the general public is exactly right. Count on Bowne to help you ensure that the most important transaction in the company's history is a successful one.

The road to public ownership is complex.

Let us help you make the journey.

  • Efficiency and Quality, Every Time. Of course, speed and accuracy are paramount throughout the demutualization process. Establishing, maintaining and enhancing quality disclosure as you gather and analyze information, create documents and struggle to meet aggressive timelines is a tremendous challenge. You need to work with a partner who understands the complexities of the process. Bowne has experience with insurance and savings bank demutualizations going back to the 1980s, including the demutualization of MetLife, which required producing and distributing more than 20 million documents in less than five days. We're deeply familiar with these complex transactions and can guide you at every step—from advising policyholders (or shareholders), through public offering.
  • Depth of Resources at Your Immediate Disposal. No matter where you are, you'll have access to our expertise and resources. Whether you're in New York or Los Angeles, or anywhere in between, we'll provide state of-the-art conference facilities where you can bring your major stakeholders together to structure the transaction—any time, day or night, 365 days a year. Bowne has more than 1000 composition specialists ready to handle projects—more than any competitor. And our printing capacity is the largest in the industry. With seven printing locations from coast to coast, we can print and distribute your documents from a plant close by or across the country.

    When you're ready to file with the SEC, we're here for you. We'll make sure you file on-time, every time. We provide you with the typesetting, translation, printing and EDGAR filing services for SEC compliance documentation and can also repurpose your documents for distribution through a Web site, email or CD-ROM.
