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.
