The Placement Agent Agreement for online retailer Overstock.com was made available today by online legal document provider RealDealDocs.com.

In December of 2006, Overstock.com utilized a placement agent agreement when they hired an agent to handle the issuance and sale of the company’s shares to investors. And the following year Eddie Bauer Holdings drafted a placement agent agreement for the same purpose.

A placement agency agreement is an agreement between an issuer of stock of a company and a placement agent. Per the terms of the agreement, a placement agent agrees to use his or her “best efforts” to secure investors to invest in the company. The agreement is an integral part of the process by which a company tries to secure institutional or private investors as part of a public or private offering of stock. Generally a subscription agreement, an escrow agreement, a letter of opinion from the company’s legal counsel, and a shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement will accompany this agreement.

If you own a small company and are looking for investors to invest in your company, you may want to consider hiring an experienced placement agent to help secure investors. A placement agent will usually have relationships with institutional investors, such as pension or hedge funds, and can serve as a broker to try to convince these investors to invest in your company.
