Investment Focused on Creating Significant Value-Added Expertise for Internet Related Investment Banking Services
(New York, N.Y.) March 29, 1999 - The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. and Wit Capital Group, Inc., announced today that Goldman Sachs will make a minority equity investment in Wit Capital. Wit Capital is a New York-based investment banking and brokerage firm focused on the offering and selling of securities through the Internet to a community of online investors.
Under the terms of this transaction Goldman Sachs will purchase stock and warrants representing approximately 22% of Wit Capital's outstanding common stock without including the shares proposed to be issued in Wit Capital's planned initial public offering. The two companies will cooperate in a number of areas including initial public offerings and, in particular, affinity programs for issuing clients. Under the terms of the transaction, the firms will maintain a non-exclusive relationship with each other.
"Wit Capital has pioneered the integration of the Internet and the capital markets, and both investors and corporate issuers are benefiting as a result. We believe that Wit Capital is both an attractive investment for Goldman Sachs and an important part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the Internet and other new technologies in our business, both through internal development and external investment. We look forward to working with Wit Capital to provide our clients with better and more integrated investment banking services than exist in the marketplace today," said Henry M. Paulson, Jr., co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs.
"Both Goldman Sachs and Wit Capital have complementary expertise as it relates to clients who are leveraging the Internet to create efficiencies in their businesses," commented Ronald Readmond, Wit Capital's President and co-Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that through this relationship we can combine Goldman Sachs' banking and institutional expertise with Wit Capital's online distribution to provide issuers stronger execution of their equity offerings." ..... ================================== Now this is what the post offering SEC filing says.
