Stockholders selling 97.9 million shares of Robinhood after monster rally

Stockholders selling 97.9 million shares of Robinhood after monster rally

August 6, 2021: -On Thursday, Robinhood said in an amended filing that existing shareholders would sell up 97.9 million shares over time. The news knocked shares of the trading app that have surged this week.

The commission-free broker will not receive any proceeds from the stock sale of 97,876,033 shares of its Class A common stock. The offering is through an automatic conversion of specific convertible notes held by the selling stockholders in connection with its initial public offering.

These selling shareholders include several venture capital firms that invested in Robinhood early on. For instance, New Enterprise Associates, which owns more than 10% of Robinhood shares, is among the list of sellers in this offering. Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Capital, Institutional Venture Partners, and Ribbit Capital were also selling stockholders.

Robinhood set a maximum selling price at $35.12 per share for the offering. The total proceeds for the holders will be up to $3.44 billion.

The stock dropped more than 12% in premarket trading on Thursday.

After a lackluster IPO last week, Robinhood shares spiked this week as retail investors bid up the claims, reminiscent of the meme stock rallies the company helped perpetuate in names like AMC and GameStop earlier in the year.

The shares jumped 50% on Wednesday and had doubled for the week until Thursday’s decline. Buying by ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood and the start of options trading were also credited with helping to boost the shares.

Robinhood, which experienced massive growth thanks to the rise of retail investors, went public last Thursday on the Nasdaq under the ticker HOOD. The stock is priced at $38 per share, the low end of its offering range.

Tristar Coatings | Transforming The Painting Industry With Innovation | Svetlana Melkova

There are many challenges facing the painting and coating industry today, and the pandemic just added fuel to the fire. These include raw material shortages and the globalization of the painting and coating market. Other challenges include increasing regulations due to environmental concerns and increasing manufacturing costs and raw materials. Ontario-based Tristar Coatings has been able to leverage its extensive knowledge base and highly skilled chemists to provide the solutions today’s organizations need in the time they require it most. In overarching terms, customer performance requirements can mean increasing product output whilst streamlining the process in which that product is manufactured. This can come in the form of preparing the substrate before the painting process (whether that be with physical or chemical cleaning) or actual product modifications to prevent or promote certain properties in the coating (such as adhesion, corrosion protection, film build, UV resistance, etc.), but Tristar has it all.
