Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)
Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) is an alternative method of raising equity capital for listed companies. It involves the injection of equity (common stock or convertible securities) into listed companies by institutional investors in private placements. PIPEs do not trigger pre-emption rights with regard to existing shareholders but come with shareholder approval.
