February 12, 2018 at 11:13 pmApollo’s plan for a Ceva IPO.
An interesting question to ask is how can Apollo proceed with an IPO, when they have significant legal action pending.
Apollo and Ceva are potentially likely to have breached their fiduciary duties to its past employee share/equity holders.
Apollo’s past activities, have forced previous employee equity holders to challenge the proposed IPO. Apollo refuse to address legitimate governance concerns and therefore any potential IPO may be saddled with risk.

Yes, but look at bond prices in the secondary market and you’ll find out investors are much more comfortable with its credit risk. Then to your point, in my experience legal action is highly unlikely to prevent an IPO and that kind of risk will be highlighted in the prospectus.
