CMB Compliance & Corporate Governance (Regulation & Compliance)​

A successful IPO requires full compliance with Capital Markets Board (CMB / SPK) regulations, including:

• Preparation and submission of the CMB application file

• Corporate Governance Compliance Report (KGUR)

• Ongoing material event disclosures

• Full alignment with Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) requirements

• Establishment of Corporate Governance, Audit and Risk Committees

ECB Global guides issuers through these regulatory steps and helps embed a transparent, governance-driven capital markets profile.

​​

​

Intermediary Institution & Allocation Strategy​

Beyond selecting the right intermediary, the distribution strategy is critical:

• Definition of demand collection methodology (retail, domestic institutional, foreign institutional)

• Design of allocation tranches and investor segments

• Price range determination and book-building strategy

• Decision on whether price stabilisation (over-allotment / stabilisation transactions) will be used

We work closely with the intermediary institution to design an allocation and pricing strategy that balances market demand, liquidity and long-term investor base quality.

​

​

Pre-IPO Structural Readiness

Before going public, the company must complete key structural preparations, including:

​

• Corporate identity and organisational design aligned with public company standards

• Establishment of internal control and risk management functions

• Structuring the Board of Directors with independent members in line with regulations

• Definition of a clear dividend policy

• Implementation of internal audit and compliance functions

​

ECB Global helps transform the company from a privately held structure into a public-market ready organisation.

​

​

Investor Relations Function

An Investor Relations (IR) department is mandatory for listed companies and is a cornerstone of long-term capital markets success.

This unit is responsible for:

• Managing KAP disclosures and investor communications

• Organising investor meetings, calls and presentations

• Communicating the company’s sustainability agenda, financial performance and strategic objectives

ECB Global supports the design, setup and ongoing development of a professional IR function.

​

​

Roadshow & Investor Marketing

Effective investor engagement is a key success factor in any IPO. Our support typically includes:

• Analyst meetings and briefings

• Non-deal roadshows and ongoing investor outreach

• Targeted visits to key institutional investors (domestic and international)

• Development of a compelling equity story that clearly explains the company’s business model, growth strategy and value drivers

We help management teams communicate a clear and credible investment case to the market.

​

​

Post-IPO Obligations

Following the IPO, the company enters a new phase of ongoing obligations, including:

• Regular financial reporting (quarterly, semi-annual and annual)

• Continuous disclosure requirements on KAP

• Corporate Governance Compliance reporting

• Active shareholder relations and general assembly management

• Ongoing interaction with the CMB and stock exchange within audit and supervision processes

ECB Global supports issuers in building the internal processes needed to meet these obligations consistently and efficiently.

​

​

Additional Requirements for International Listings​

For listings on markets such as London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam, additional requirements may apply, including:

• Mandatory IFRS financial reporting and enhanced disclosure standards

• Collaboration with international law firms and global coordinators

• Additional approvals and structures for global offerings (GDR/ADR), where applicable

• ESG and sustainability reporting expectations and related frameworks

ECB Global works with international partners to align your organisation with the regulatory and investor expectations of global capital markets.
