Creating and listing an Reverse Takeover (RTO) company is a way to facilitate private companies' entry into the public market. 

An RTO (Reverse Takeover) company is a clean, listed entity specifically structured to enable private companies to go public quickly and cost-effectively. Unlike traditional IPOs, which can be lengthy and expensive, an RTO allows a private company to acquire an existing listed shell company.

Efficient market entry for private companies

An RTO company offers private businesses a fast track to becoming publicly listed, bypassing many of the complexities of a traditional IPO. This enables them to unlock market value, enhance credibility, and access new sources of capital.

A clean slate for reverse acquisition

RTO companies are designed as "clean shells"—with no prior operations or liabilities—making them ideal targets for reverse takeovers. This ensures a smooth transition for private companies seeking a public listing without inheriting historical baggage.

The idea with an RTO company is that the company does not run a business, it is simply put it, just a listed company with shareholders. The cash position in a RTO company is therefore small, just to ensure to cover ongoing costs for a period.

A short summary of the rule book:

• Three board members, no requirement for independence. CEO cannot be chairman.
• Upon listing a cash position for minimum 18 month
• An RTO Company must include the designation "RTO" in its company name
• The RTO company shall provide quarterly reports
• The RTO company is traded on standard list/trading model
• An RTO company is not allowed to conduct any form of capital raising directed at the public while it is an RTO company. Exceptions may be granted in connection with acquisitions of companies, subject to approval from Spotlight.
• An RTO Company may not engage in any business other than seeking companies to acquire through a reverse takeover.
• Until the RTO Company has completed an acquisition or reverse takeover, it must promptly notify the Marketplace of any proposed acquisition before such acquisition is disclosed to the market.
• Following a completed acquisition, the new corporate combination must meet the listing requirements. This mean that a listing review is conducted.
