Equity For Punks: Conceptual issues with public protections in offerings of shares to the public

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article reviews the terms of the brewer BrewDog’s “Equity for Punks Tomorrow” equity raise, and argues that it illustrates a conceptual problem for legal regulation of offers to the public: more protections to shareholders are provided when shares offered to the public are listed on an exchange, but greater protection may be required where there is no such listing.
