On July 2, Forgent Power Solutions fell 5.25% in regular trading, trading at $48.695/share, with turnover of $306 million. The stock traded below the offering price of $49, reflecting market pressure from the upsized equity deal.
On the news front, the company priced an upsized public offering of its Class A common shares at $49 each late Wednesday. The offering includes 29.1 million shares from selling stockholders and 14.6 million shares from Forgent itself. Additionally, the selling stockholders and the company granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 4.4 million and 2.2 million additional shares, respectively. The company will use its net proceeds to redeem interests in an operating subsidiary held by existing equity owners controlled by Neos Partners. The offering is expected to close on July 6.
The deal represents a significant expansion from the initially announced $35 million offering, with Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Morgan Stanley serving as book-runners. Market analysts note that the enlarged offering scale combined with substantial shareholder selling has exacerbated dilution concerns, contributing to sustained selling pressure over recent sessions.
