Obtain and analyze the final prospectus for an issue by a public company between June, 2016 and December, 2016.

You may NOT analyze a shelf prospectus nor a mutual fund prospectus

The analysis should include the following:

Parameter identification & summary

security being issued & details

business of company

recent developments

use of proceeds

capitalization of the company

risk factors

plan of distribution

Recommendations & conclusions

1) would you recommend the purchase of this issue; why? why not?

Post-issue evaluation

identify any recent significant corporate news

Other company documents
