Corp Fin’s New Position: Price Ranges in IPO Preliminary Prospectuses
One of those things I swore I blogged about – but slipped through the cracks. Corp Fin recently changed its policy on IPO price ranges, now allowing a $2 price range for offerings up to $10 per share, and 20% if the price is over $10. Previously, the range was limited to a $2 spread. (I note Facebook’s price range was $34 to $38.) The intent is to better reflect the inherent difficulty in pricing IPOs. Learn more in this memo posted in our “IPOs” Practice Area.
