Translation for issuers & underwriters

Issuers and underwriters of IPO's turn to Bowne for our specific financial and legal market expertise and for our ability to craft flexible and scalable solutions to meet their most demanding requirements.

Challenge:
A global investment bank needs a translation provider that can alleviate some of the stress of taking a company public. It’s requirements include:

• Translations for both the New York and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges
• Large volume capabilities for the prospectus and filing documents
• Processes to handle 40 – 60 rounds of author alterations of up to 300 pages each
• Printing and distribution capabilities
• 100% commitment to quality and deadlines

Solution:
Bowne's experience with IPOs ensures that, from the start, project complexity is understood, deadlines are aggressively managed, and no time is lost to training or other start-up issues. An experienced IPO project team, all graduates of Bowne's IPO-specific training program, is assembled. Using a proprietary methodology, the team tracks terminology updates, versions and changes as they come in from both the English and Chinese authors. Finally, Bowne provides a team of linguists on-site to manage last-minute changes prior to printing the prospectus and filing documents.

Result:
Bowne's translation and printing teams work side-by-side to use every available minute to assure the regulatory requirements are met. With deadlines achieved, this IPO is a success.
