Olshan corporate partners Kenneth Silverman and Honghui Yu authored an article in Bloomberg Law entitled “GameStop’s $3.5 Billion Windfall Shows Power of SEC Rule Mastery.” Their article highlights how public companies, with the right securities law strategies in place, can raise money quickly on the heels of viral news, with the rise in both retail investors and “influencer” investors. GameStop is a notable example of a public company that was able to raise billions of dollars through at-the-market offerings following a surge in the company’s stock price driven by viral social media posts. In total, GameStop has raised about $3.5 billion in gross proceeds. Ken and Honghui represented GameStop in its at-the-market offerings.
