Abstract: Confidential entry of orders to purchase company shares in an equity offering can include an order entry module, order book module, and security module. The order entry module receives orders directly from investors to purchase shares of the company. Each order includes order information such as an identity of the investor that submitted the order, share price, and quantity of company shares to be purchased at the share price. The order book module communicates the order information to members of a management/equity capital markets company team for the equity offering transaction. The security module allows the order entry module to receive the orders directly from the investors, allows the order book module to communicate the order information to the members of the management/company team, and prevents communication of the order information to sales persons associated with the equity offering transaction.
