Forgent Power Solutions Inc. has priced its initial public offering at $27.00 per share, the company announced in a statement. The deal is composed of a large block of shares being sold by existing stockholders controlled by Neos Partners, LP, together with a separate allocation of shares coming directly from Forgent.

As part of the arrangement, the underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 8,400,000 shares in aggregate from both the selling stockholders and Forgent.

Forgent will not derive any proceeds from the shares being sold by the selling stockholders. The company has stated that net proceeds from the offering that it does receive will be used to redeem interests in an operating subsidiary that are currently held by existing equity owners controlled by Neos Partners, LP.

Risks

  • The offering is subject to customary closing conditions, which could delay or prevent completion and impact planned timelines - this affects market participants and equity investors.
  • Forgent will not receive proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders, which limits the company's direct cash inflow from that portion of the offering and relates to corporate finance decisions - this affects Forgent's capital structure and related stakeholders.
  • The underwriters' 30-day option to purchase additional shares could alter the total float and ownership composition if exercised, affecting supply-side dynamics in the market for the stock.
