Legal Question in Securities Law in New York
Filing an F-1 as an offshore company
What are the implications if an offshore-registered company, with primary operations in the US, files an F-1 in perparation for a US IPO? Are there any legal problems with this? Will institutional investors be more wary of this IPO?

Re: Filing an F-1 as an offshore company
In order to utilize form F-1 an issuer must be incorporated outside of the United States. Most institutional investors are very aware of F-1 issuers and look at these issuers no differently than the way they would look at US issuers.
Re: Filing an F-1 as an offshore company
There are no serious legal problems nor implications with regard to institutional investors, as these tend to be very savy investors and are well aware if such practices... there may be a minor issue on the part of individual inevstors long term but this is not a major issue on an IPO as you're probably looking more at institutional investors.
