Limelight Networks IPO: Higher Pricing & Higher Share Count (LLNW)
Published:
Limelight Networks (LLNW-NASDAQ) did price its widely anticipated IPO. It sold 16 million shares at $15.00, but this is a higher share count than the 14.4 million expected and the pricing itself was well above the $10.00 to $12.00 range.
Joint book-runners were listed as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley; with co-managers listed as $Piper jaffray, Friedman Billings Ramsey, and Jefferies.
The company competes directly against Akamai Tech (AKAM-NASDAQ) and has almost an identical description: setting high performance servers at strategically placed POPs to deliver media-rich content faster and smoother to end-users. In fact, the business is so identical that it is in a patent case against Akamai & MIT. Its 2006 revenues were $64 million and it is still growing. Some key customers are listed as XM satellite radio, MSNBC, Viacom, ABC, Sony, XBox, Adobe, Microsoft, Facebook, and MySpace.
