IPO: After a glitch in sending emails – Anthropic presents prospectus

New York. The IPO of the AI ​​startup Anthropic is expected to raise up to $64.4 billion. This is shown in the company's stock market prospectus published on Tuesday. Accordingly, 825 million shares will be offered in an indicative range of $70 to $78.

The management of the company known for its AI model “Claude” is now starting its advertising tour to potential buyers for the shares. The issue price is expected to be set next week. Unlike in Germany, the price range for IPOs in the USA is only a guideline. The actual price may be higher or lower.

The price range and the issue volume are slightly below the figures that were previously sent to the banks due to a breakdown. On Monday evening (local time), an Anthropic employee apparently accidentally sent a document for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with the data for the issue to banks. After that, 867 million shares were to be sold at a price of $70 to $80. A short time later, the company said that pricing details were incorrect and that new information would be sent later.
