Red Violet Prices $100M Stock Offering at $60, a 3.2% Discount to Market
RDVT sits 86% above its 52-week low of $33.4.
Summary
Red Violet priced a $100 million underwritten public offering of 1,666,667 shares at $60 each, a 3.2% discount to the last close of $62. The deal includes a 15% greenshoe option for underwriters and is expected to close on August 7. The company plans to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. This follows a proposed offering announced earlier today and comes two months after top executives dissolved a 13D group and sold $2.6 million in stock. The offering represents roughly 10% dilution to existing shareholders and signals potential near-term capital needs or insider desire to monetize at current levels.
At the time of this announcement, RDVT was trading at $62.00 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $963.4M. The 52-week trading range was $33.40 to $71.19.
