Mike Gould – Initial Public Offerings (IPO) Leader at PwC
The biggest hurdle, quite frankly, is this ends up being a all encompassing exercise, and if you’re not careful and what we see and so the worst, worst case scenario is a company gets wrapped up in a process like this, and they take their eye off the ball. The most important thing through a process like this is to meet your numbers, continue to operate, to continue to be successful and to continue to focus on the business.
