At the conclusion of a successful APO transaction, a company is publicly traded and has received its PIPE (equity) funding and has a combination of individual investors and a base of institutional investors.  The company has the sponsorship of an investment bank or broker dealer and working towards an exchange listing with analyst coverage.  It is somewhat difficult to move a company from the OTCBB to a stock exchange such as NSADAQ or AMEX.  It takes a concerted effort by the company, a sponsoring broker dealer, along with investor and public relations firms so that the company can be exposed to as many potential investors as possible.  There are over 3,300 OTCBB companies trading so it takes a herculean effort to gain recognition in the marketplace.  The story about the upside potential of the company’s future must be so great that it will attract many investors to buy and hold the stock.
