Connecture Files for IPO: Health Care Insurance Platform

Connecture Inc. has filed its S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to have an initial public offering (IPO). No terms were given for the offering, but the filing is up to $86.25 million. The company plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Market but has not yet nominated a symbol to list under.

The underwriters for the offering are Morgan Stanley, Raymond James, Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and William Blair.

Connecture is a Web-based consumer shopping, enrollment and retention platform for health insurance distribution. The customers are health insurance marketplace operators, such as health plans, brokers and exchange operators, that must distribute health insurance in a cost-effective manner to a growing number of insured consumers.

The United States health insurance marketplace is undergoing a tremendous structural change that is fundamentally altering how health insurance is purchased and distributed. More consumers now have access to health insurance with more plan options and places to buy their insurance than ever before.
