Securities Regulation Daily offers new weekly feature: IPO Tracker
The new IPO Tracker feature is designed to keep you up to date on developments in initial public offerings. The IPO Tracker gives a snapshot of the previous week’s IPO activity, including new registrations and completed deals.
The IPO Tracker is compiled using the exclusive Wolters Kluwer IPO Vital Signs database, which gathers, stores, and analyzes more than 200 individual details about an IPO filing.
The following is an IPO Tracker excerpt from Securities Regulation Daily on September 16 (note the convenient link to access the week’s activity):
New registrants. It is shaping up to be another busy autumn for the IPO market, as 14 more new registrants joined the pipeline. The week’s activity included new registrations filed by three companies—Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Energy & Exploration Partners and Israel Chemical—making a second attempt at going public after having withdrawn earlier IPO registrations. It also included five filings by companies headquartered outside the U.S.
The IPO Tracker can be found under the Securities Regulation Daily Wrap Up. If you subscribe to Securities Regulation Daily, click here for access.

New book: Trade Sanctions and International Sales. An Inquiry into International Arbitration and Commercial Litigation
Trade sanctions are powerful political tools devised to prevent the conclusion of new commercial contracts and paralyze the performance of pre-existing ones. Following the imposition of a sanction, a party prohibited from performing its obligations under a validly concluded contract may resolve to withhold performance or performance may de facto and be prevented by measures of enforcement of the sanction. If this party therefore fails to perform its obligations, its contracting partner may decide to initiate legal proceedings.
The author offers solutions to issues faced by arbitral tribunals and domestic courts when one party raises the existence of a sanction to support its claim to be freed from its contractual obligations. Click here for more information and to order.
New book: International Arbitration and Cross-Border Insolvency. Comparative Perspectives
This book provides an in-depth analysis of applicable rules and policies under the current legal framework and case law of national courts and arbitral tribunals, emphasizing developments in five countries where high levels of international arbitration occur: England, the United States, France, Germany and Switzerland.
