Offering documents Federal Payment Slip (GRU) and proof of payment of the CVM supervisory fee;
Offering documents Deed or instrument of issuance of the securities;
Offering documents Notice to the market and offering opening and closing announcements;
Offering documents File containing the characteristics of the securities, information on the deposit of the securities offered, and the payment schedule, in accordance with the templates made available by BEE4;

What happens after listing

Companies that choose to remain privately held may decide whether or not to admit their securities for trading by investors in the secondary market. If that is the objective, that is, if they wish to access the secondary market, they will need to comply with the disclosure obligations set forth in the regulation.

 In this case, the information must be submitted to BEE4, with no need to maintain an Investor Relations page on the company’s own website. These obligations include:

  • Disclosure of annual audited financial statements;
  • Disclosure of material information to the market, such as material acts or material facts;
  • Availability of reports and communications submitted by the trustee and the commercial notes agent, when applicable.

If it chooses not to trade the securities in the secondary market, the SME is not required to keep its financial results publicly available to the market.
