ADS Waste Holdings, Inc. has filed its paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to come public via an initial public offering. The offering is for common shares, but the number of those shares and the price range have not been set.
The proposed maximum offering was set at $100 million, but this number can be ratcheted higher or lower ahead of and into the actual offering. ADS Waste said that it will apply for the stock ticker “ADSW” but the NYSE or NASDAQ was not specified.
ADS Waste said that Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and Barclays will be its lead book-running managers in the initial offering. Other book-running managers were listed as BofA Merrill Lynch, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley and UBS. Additional co-managers were listed as Wells Fargo and First Analysis Securities.
