Recapitalizations Workshop
June 21, 2006 Register now!

Event Sponsor: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati

Partial and complete recapitalizations are a growing  trend in the financial community. From buying out founders and early investors  to purchasing a majority of a company's shares, cashing in on equity is  becoming a popular alternative to traditional liquidity vehicles like the  classic M&A and IPO. This is in part because it is more equitable for the  shareholders, who in most cases are seeing more attractive valuations. If you  are considering a partial or complete recapitalization, please join Javier  Rojas, managing director of Kennet Venture Partners, to learn more about the  market opportunity for companies that have retained shares and now want to  cash out. Javier will cover the basics including: challenges faced by the  management team, costs associated with missed opportunities, valuations, and  the process involved in transacting this type of deal. Referring to real life  experiences of companies he's advised, Javier will also provide insight into  what makes recapitalization a winning deal and how to determine whether it's  the right path for you.

Panelists:
Javier Rojas, Managing Director, Kennet  Venture Partners
Jeffrey Pancottine, CEO, eProject

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This  discussion will focus on recapitalizations as an alternative to traditional  liquidity vehicles. This SEMINAR/WORKSHOP will be particularly helpful for  early-stage technology companies (entrepreneurs) who are considering their  alternatives as their companies grow. CEOs, CFOs, and other company decision  makers - particularly those with a stake in the company - will benefit most  from the interactive nature of this discussion.

WORKSHOP  OBJECTIVES
Learn about recapitalization from every angle - what makes for  successful outcomes, how to weight the pros and cons of this vehicle, and  measuring the risks and rewards of recapitalization. Javier will discuss his  method for determining when is the right time to sell shares and how to  approach a transaction with knowledge and savvy.

Javier Rojas
Managing  Director, Silicon Valley Office
Kennet Venture  Partners

Javier is a managing director of Kennet Venture Partners and  leads its U.S. investment activities. He is currently on the boards of Aarohi  Communications, NetPro Computing, MedeFinance, Kapow Technologies, and  eproject. Prior to joining Kennet, he was a managing director of Broadview  International and led their West Coast Software and Services practice. Javier  specialized in advising high growth, early-stage companies on how to  capitalize on emerging technology markets and partnering opportunities. He  invested and/or advised on a number of successful companies and high value  exits including Etek, Webex, Looksmart, Blue Mountain Arts, When.com, and  Rightworks. Previously, Javier was with Morgan Stanley. Earlier, he founded a  software firm that developed products for capital markets interest rate and  currency swap traders. He holds an M.B.A. from The Harvard Business School and  a B.A.S. from Georgetown University.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
If you are a founder or  majority share holder in a company who is even remotely considering  recapitalization as a liquidity option, you probably have questions about how  to evaluate your own scenario to determine if, when and how much to sell. If  you are thinking about raising capital or scaling your business, this is your  opportunity to take in advice and even walk away with answers directed at your  individual situation.
