INC Research Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: INCR) announced that it has priced its secondary offering in its most recent filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, it did not announce the actual price. As we get closer to the expected offering date of August 17, we can expect that more details — including the price — will surface.
Based on current prices, the offering of 8 million shares is valued at roughly $353 million.
In the previous filing, no underwriters were mentioned but this was updated to include JPMorgan and Credit Suisse. It is worth noting that INC will not receive any proceeds from this offering. Instead they will go to the selling shareholders. The biggest stakes being sold are by Avista Capital Partners, affiliates of Teachers’ Private Capital, and Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan (OTPP).
