    ATB assigns the basis for the valuation reference, which establishes the connection with fundamentals, corporate value drivers and corporate currency that may be applied for strategic corporation actions and initiatives.
  • Economies of scale in private markets
    ATB governance board creates economies of scale in information production, validation, communication, information dissemination, coordination with stakeholders, performance of fiduciary duties, and other governance functions.

Regulatory Status

Private Listing Board for Governance

ATB is designed as a governance and information listing board focused strictly on governance and information functions. ATB does not perform any regulated activities, such as those of a securities exchange, fundraising or trading venue. ATB facilitates access to capital, strictly outside of ATB, performed by affiliated licensed and regulated entities as private placement transactions. None of the ATB services constitute any regulated or financial activity. 

ATB is suitable for companies with a long-view that wish to first establish its reputation before launching a fundraising campaign which typically leads to significantly more favorable financing terms on the basis of higher transparency, lower risk/uncertainty, and higher level of corporate and managerial capacity. ATB listing provides the company with visible track-record, documented delivery on strategic development goals, and continuing good-standing with ATB standards.

In terms of financial transaction execution, ATB listing is beneficial in providing single information disclosure and validation point for all stakeholders and a pricing reference, creating economies of scale for functions that would otherwise require overlapping information and due diligence review for multiple stakeholders.
