Mandrake IPO Successful:
Subscribers to Mandrake's weekly newsletter got the news
earlier today that "MandrakeSoft is pleased to announce that
the company is now listed on the Euronext March� Libre. As a
result of the successful Initial Public Offering, a total of
688.480 shares were sold at 6.2 Euros each. This results in an
increase in capital of approximately 4.3 million Euros and
represents 20.28% of the company's capital after issue." A
good portion of the offering was completed in just the last
half-day of availability, according to email received from
Mandrake higher-ups, in part perhaps because of the confusion
about who could participate in the offer, and how. There's
also a story about the IPO at NewsForge, and a discussion at
Mandrake's forum. If you're interested in picking up any stock
in the company, there are some useful pointers (and more info)
at their investor info page.
