One of the leading ASIC chip design companies and the most-sought manufacturer of Bitcoin mining machines, Ebang International announced the pricing of its high-profile IPO of 19,264,337 Class A ordinary shares at US$5.23 per Class A ordinary share with a total offering size closing in at $100.75 million approximately. The figure has been arrived at with the assumption that the underwriters do not purchase additional shares by opting for the over-allotment option.
Ebang in its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had ascertained that it is looking forward to listing its shares on NYSE and Nasdaq Global Market. The proceeds from the IPO will go towards the introduction of new mining machines, refurbishment of current ones, focussing on corporate branding through diverse marketing activities and a focus on global brand building for promoting business at a world level.
The enterprise has provided to its underwriters the additional right to purchase nearly 2,889,650 additional Class A ordinary shares. This they can do within 30 days from the date of the final prospectus at the IPO price so decided.
