The underwriters for the offering are Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Macquarie Capital, Baird, Cowen, Stifel, Wedbush and Academy Securities.

This company is a global provider and innovator of high-performance gear for gamers and content creators. Corsair’s industry-leading gaming gear helps digital athletes, from casual gamers to committed professionals, to perform across PC or console platforms, and its streaming gear enables creators to produce studio-quality content to share with friends or to broadcast to millions of fans. To put it simply, this company designs and sells high-performance gaming and streaming peripherals, components and systems to enthusiasts globally.
