IPO
Source: Thinkstock
Two initial public offerings delayed from last week priced on Monday and began trading Tuesday morning. Both priced well below their expected ranges, and neither looks to be off to a roaring start.

City Office REIT Inc. (NYSE: CIO) offered 5.8 million shares at $12.50, below the expected range of $14 to $16 and the expected total of 6.67 million shares. The shares began trading at $12.25, 2% below the offering price.

The company is based in Atlanta and owns and operates office properties in the southern and western United States. Gross proceeds from the IPO come to $72.5 million. The underwriters have a 30-day overallotment option on an additional 870,000 shares.

Paycom Software Inc. (NYSE: PAYC) provides cloud-based human resources management software. The company sold 6.65 million shares at $15 a share, well below the expected price range of $18 to $20. About 2 million shares were offered by selling stockholders and the company sold about 4.6 million shares to raise gross proceeds of around $69 million. Underwriters have a 30-day overallotment option on an additional 996,750 shares.

City Office shares recovered somewhat to trade at around $12.35 in mid-morning Tuesday.

Paycom shares opened at $17.90, but sank to $15.35 by mid-morning. Still, the shares were about 2.3% above the IPO price.
