There is a continuing debate about contributing factors to a declining IPO market with some pointing to the high level of IPO costs, particularly underwriting fees. Narrative disclosure of these costs may serve to make issuers more aware of those costs (as compared to those of alternative capital formation strategies) and may lead to calibrating those levels more closely in relation to the costs of taking a company public.

Commissioner Jackson acknowledges that dual-class stock may benefit investors early in a company’s life cycle, but expresses concern that such benefit over time is both un-American and hurts a company’s trading value.
