Venator Materials Adds Even More Underwriters to IPO
July 14, 2017 by Chris LangeVenator Materials has registered an amended S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its initial public offering (IPO). No pricing details were mentioned in the filing, but the offering is valued up to $100 million, although this number tends to be just a placeholder.
After the completion of this offering, Huntsman Corporation will continue to control a majority of the voting power of the ordinary shares. As a result, Venator will be a “controlled company.” It intends to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VNTR.
The sole underwriter in the original filing was Merrill Lynch, but with this amendment a slew of underwriters jumped on board. Those added since then are Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, UBS Investment Bank, RBC Capital Markets, Moelis, HSBC, Nomura, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Academy Securities and Commerzbank. With this addition of underwriters there could be a big influx of funding to come in the next updated filing.
This leading global manufacturer and marketer of chemical products intends to improve the quality of life for downstream consumers and promote a sustainable future.
