????幾個月來備受質疑和指責的團購網站Groupon終于做了件讓投資者高興的事。 ????正如凱拉?斯威舍最先報道的那樣，Groupon不僅IPO定價高于16-18美元的建議區間，還多發了500萬股。 ????每股定價20美元將使IPO總規模達到7億美元，僅略低于6月份該公司設定的7.50億美元的目標。這樣，這家總部位于芝加哥的團購網站的初始市值將達到約126.5億美元，在所有美股中市值排名位居第323位。 ????Groupon最后一次在非公開市場融資時，估值是融資后不到50億美元。那一輪融資——即今年1月9.50億美元的Series E融資——募得的絕大部分資金都用于了早期投資者和雇員的股票套現。 ????Groupon獲得的直接風險融資總計5.60億美元，投資方包括投資公司Accel Partners、恩頤投資（New Enterprise Associates）等。 ????摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）是此次IPO的主承銷商，參與此次承銷的還有高盛（Goldman Sachs）、瑞士信貸（Credit Suisse）和其他11家銀行。 ????Groupon定于上周五早間在納斯達克首日上市交易。 |
????After months of skepticism and criticism, daily deal company Groupon apparently did something to excite investors. ????As first reported by Kara Swisher, the company not only priced its IPO above the proposed $16-$18 range, but also added an extra 5 million shares. ????The $20 per share price would bring the total offering value to $700 million. That's just a shade below the $750 million it targeted back in June, and would give the Chicago-based daily deals company an initial market cap of approximately $12.65 billion. That would rank its market cap at #323 among all U.S. stocks. ????When Groupon last raised money in the private markets, it was done at a post-money valuation south of $5 billion. The vast majority of that round -- a $950 million Series E deal this past January -- was used to provide liquidity to early investors and employees. ????Overall, Groupon had raised over $560 million in direct venture capital, from firms like Accel Partners and New Enterprise Associates. ????Morgan Stanley (MS) was the offering's lead underwriter, and was joined by Goldman Sachs (GS), Credit Suisse and 11 other banks. ????Groupon (GRPN) is expected to begin trading tomorrow morning on the Nasdaq. |
