Wednesday’s SEC filings show another lower reception to a future IPO. Lombard Medical Inc. has an amended SEC filing showing that the company will sell 5 million shares at roughly $11 per share. Its previous sales range was calling for 3.636 million shares, but with a much higher price range of $15 to $18 per share.
Some investors may argue that a higher share count is a good thing, but a lower price brings about a lower total market valuation, as long as the outstanding shares remain the same.
Earlier in 2014, the IPO market was flooded full of emerging pharma and biotech outfits that no one had ever heard of. Many of those IPOs saw their shares fly through the roof around their launch.
Lombard’s ordinary shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol EVAR. Investors should keep in mind that this stock has traded under the AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange.

Underwriters for the offering are listed as Jefferies, Barclays and BTIG.

Its lead product is called Aorfix, and it is the only abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) stent-graft approved by the FDA for the treatment of AAAs with angulation at the neck of the aneurysm of up to 90 degrees.
The SEC filing said:
