TOMBSTONE advertisement placed in newspapers by investment bankers in a PUBLIC OFFERING of securities. It gives basic details about the issue and lists the UNDERWRITING GROUP members involved in the offering in alphabetically organized groupings according to the size of their participation. It is not "an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy," but rather it calls attention to the PROSPECTUS, sometimes called the offering circular. A tombstone may also be placed by an investment banking firm to announce it's role in a PRIVATE PLACEMENT, corporate MERGER, or ACQUISITION; by a corporation to announce a major business or real estate deal; or by a firm in the financial community to announce a personnel development or a principal's death. Now unless you are a PRINCIPAL in the IPO.......I guess you are safe ! HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaaaaaa jem
