The event is finished.

As the market for private secondary transactions has expanded, so have the size and frequency of these liquidity events. 

Regulatory bodies have been paying attention. Guidance from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and more scrutiny from regulators call for appraisers to treat 409A and ASC 718 valuations separately. But what does that mean for a secondary transaction’s impact on a company’s 409A?

Join us on January 12, 2023 at 1:00 pm PT / 4:00 pm ET for a live virtual event where we’ll detail this new guidance and answer commonly asked questions.  

Topics covered include:

  • The differences between 409A and ASC 718 valuations
  • Why you should treat these two valuation types separately
  • How this new guidance can reduce the impact of a secondary transaction on a company’s 409A
  • The opportunities this opens up for private companies

A brief Q&A session will follow.
