Document background
The Private Placement Engagement Letter is a critical document used in Swiss financial markets when a company engages a financial institution to assist with raising capital through private placement of securities. This document is essential when seeking to formalize the relationship between the placement agent and the issuing company, typically used in situations where public offerings are not preferred or practical. The letter, governed by Swiss law and regulations including FinSA/FIDLEG, outlines comprehensive terms including scope of services, fee arrangements, regulatory compliance requirements, and mutual obligations. It serves as the foundational document for the entire private placement process, incorporating necessary Swiss regulatory requirements while protecting both parties' interests throughout the capital raising process.
