Analysis · OIG · Finance
Orion180's final prospectus confirms the IPO terms: 20 million Class A shares at $12.00, raising approximately $220 million net. The pricing came in well below the originally expected $15-$17 range, reflecting weak demand. Critically, a large portion of the proceeds will repay $281.5 million of New Credit Facility debt that was used to fund $206 million in pre-IPO dividends to existing shareholders — including $151 million in May and $55 million in September. This means new IPO investors are effectively funding payouts to insiders rather than company growth. The dual-class structure gives founder Kenneth Gregg 93.9% of voting power, and new investors face immediate dilution of $11.60 per share against a $0.40 pro forma net tangible book value.
