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.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
