The underwriters for the IPO are Credit Suisse and William Blair, and they have been granted an overallotment option on 675,000 additional shares. The company plans to use net proceeds of approximately $75 million to repay $8.1 million in debt, with the remainder as working capital and for general corporate purposes.

Shares are trading up nearly 59% in the late morning, at $23.83 after posting a high of $25.18 earlier.
