IPO Employee Training | Defense Industry | DoD Contractors | Going Public

As a company, making the jump from private to public can be an exciting, yet also stressful time for everyone. As a business, your employees are without question your most valuable asset, so it’s critical they have a complete understanding of what going public means and the entire Initial Public Offering (IPO) life cycle of events. The DoD industry is massive, complex, and getting larger each year, resulting in a steady growth of defense-oriented companies making the big splash to being a publicly traded entity. 

Arlington’s years of experience in the broader Defense Industrial Base (DIB) gives us a unique opportunity in helping educate companies on all aspects of the IPO lifecycle, and giving employees the information they need to feel confident and secure about their future in terms of employment.

With Arlington’s IPO employee training solutions, we empower your employees with the knowledge necessary for understanding the entire IPO process from beginning to end the many benefits of going public for your organization – and for them.

  • Core concepts of an IPO

Benefits of Going Public

From a senior leadership perspective within your company, there are a number of reasons you’ve decided to go public, but your employees need to be clearly aware also – and of the many benefits. During this educational module, we take the time to educate your employees on the many advantages of going public – for both the company, and for them.

Specifically, we focus on the following measures:

  • Access to funds

  • Reducing corporate debt

  • Greater corporate identity and brand awareness

  • Employee stock options

  • Seizing on opportunities offered by an IPO

  • Stories of success for companies that made the IPO splash

Rules & Regulations

Anytime a company decides to make the leap as a publicly traded company, there are a large number of regulatory compliance issues to be dealt with. Specifically, an IPO brings into scope the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). What employees need to be clearly aware of are the strict legal rules relating to an IPO, and what they can and cannot do – and say during this period.

Subject matter covered during this module includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Specific SEC rules & regulations pertaining to an IPO

  • Exercising stock options
