Analysis · REF · Manufacturing
Reformation's IPO final prospectus confirms pricing at $15.00 per share, the midpoint of the expected range. The company is selling 9.5 million shares, raising approximately $125.7 million after fees, while selling stockholders offer an additional 4.6 million shares. Proceeds will primarily repay $117.2 million of term loan debt, reducing leverage, and fund a synthetic secondary purchase of shares and options from insiders. The offering values the company at roughly $886 million, with Permira retaining 49.2% post-IPO.

The deal is a standard IPO with no unusual terms, but the size and insider selling are notable.
