German web hosting company IONOS on Tuesday priced shares for its initial public offering at the bottom of its target range, as investors took a cautious approach to the first major European flotation since carmaker Porsche in September.
IONOS’s shares will debut at 18.50 euros apiece when they list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Wednesday, its parent company United Internet said in statement.
The stock’s target valuation ranged from 18.50 to 22.50 euros per share.
Should banks exercise an “Over-allotment” option to issue additional shares, United Internet and minority partner Warburg Pincus will reap total proceeds of 447 million euros from the IPO. The company will have a free-float of 17.3% if all shares are placed.
