Groupon IPO Academic Essay

 
There is some clarification for the case. You have to follow this. The company I choose is Groupon.

How much capital was floated?

This means: what percent of the company’s stock did the old owners relinquish as a result of the IPO? What percentage of the cash flow right and what percentage of the voting rights?

Who was selling?

Meaning, who were the owners of the company before the IPO? Some companies are owned by individuals, often founders. Other companies are owned by the parent company. Others still are owned as portfolio companies by a private equity firm. Understanding who was selling is necessary to understand why they were selling. I am not interested in who the underwriters were. The underwriters are just the investment banks that help the selling owners to execute the IPO.

What method of offer was used?

If there is a fixed number of shares, the method is probably bookbuilding. If the method is auction (very rare) you should be able to tell very quickly because the prospectus will be contain the word “auction” numerous times.

What do you mean by IPO price?

When I say “IPO price” I mean the price that the company received for its shares (ignoring any underwriting discounts). This is usually mentioned in the media as well as in the company’s subsequent filings (e.g. 10-K or 10-Q filings) and usually falls within the range indicated in the prospectus.
