What happens before an initial public offering (IPO)?
首次公开募股 (IPO) 之前会发生什么？
Before an IPO takes place, the company issues what is called the pre-IPO placement. This is the sale of significant blocks of stock of a firm before its first public offering (IPO). The shares are purchased at a lower price than the initial public offering (IPO) price. The placement is a way for the company to raise funds and mitigate the risk that the IPO will not be as successful as hoped.
在进行首次公开​​募股之前，公司会发行所谓的首次公开募股前配售。 这是一家公司在首次公开募股 (IPO) 之前出售的大量股票。 股票以低于首次公开募股 (IPO) 价格的价格购买。 此次配售是公司筹集资金并降低首次公开募股无法如期成功的风险的一种方式。
