UPDATE: CBOE Hires 18 Underwriters For Planned IPO
18 Maggio 2010 - 11:41PM
Dow Jones News
The Chicago Board Options Exchange has assembled a team of 18
underwriters for the planned June float of its parent under the
ticker CBOE.
CBOE Holdings Inc. said in a filing Tuesday that it will sell
11.7 million shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market in an
initial public offering expected to raise up to $300 million.
The company is the last large member-owned exchange in the U.S.,
with its float delayed by several years amid legal wrangling about
its ownership.
The underwriting team is viewed as large among comparative
transactions, with Goldman Sachs & Co. (GS) acting as sole
global coordinator alongside six joint bookrunners.
The bookrunners include the IPO debut for Citadel Securities,
the investment banking arm of the Chicago-based hedge-fund-firm
manager launched last year. Since 2006, only five U.S.-listed IPOs
have attracted a larger lineup of underwriters, according to data
tracker Dealogic. These included Man Financial, the broker now
known as MF Global (MF), as well as much larger offerings for
MasterCard Inc. (MA), Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (HTZ), Blackstone
Group L.P. (BX) and Visa Inc. (V).
CBOE plans to sell 9.6 million shares in the offering, with
selling stockholders adding another about 2.1 million, according to
a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The exchange operator plans to pay quarterly dividends beginning
in the third quarter of 2010, with an annual dividend target of 20%
to 30% of the previous year's net income.
Any dividend payment will be decided upon by the company's board
of directors, according to the filing.
Goldman Sachs is joined as bookrunner by Bank of America Merrill
Lynch, Barclays Capital, Citadel Securities, Citigroup (C), JP
Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and UBS Investment Bank.
Two other Chicago firms--Cabrera Capital Markets and Loop
Capital Markets--join Citadel on the roster.
CBOE seat prices have firmed in recent days, with one selling
Monday for $2.35 million, up from $2.3 million last week.
Exchange stocks have been mixed so far this year, with NYSE
Euronext the top performer after a 36% gain. CME Group Inc. (CME)
is down almost 6%.
