Software developer Luxoft, a unit of IBS Group, will offer its shares at $17 each and raise $70 million in a flotation on the New York Stock Exchange, the company said Wednesday.
The price was set in the middle of an indicative range of $16 to $18 per share that Luxoft had set earlier this month, valuing the company at about $555 million.
The firm, which provides software development and support, product engineering and technology consulting services, is offering 2.05 million shares and will use proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
IBS is selling another 2.05 million shares and will own a 82.9 percent voting stake in Luxoft, which counts Deutsche Bank, UBS and Boeing among its customers.
The underwriters of the deal, including UBS, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and VTB Capital, can also purchase up to 613,810 additional shares as part of a 30-day over-allotment option.
The shares will begin trading on June 26.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
