Facebook IPO watch: The Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg often does not behave in an normal way, while Facebook may also start the IPO (initial public offering) in an unconventional way this year.
According to sources, some investment banks wishing to participate in the Facebook IPO had designed a number of non-traditional IPO models for the company. But the Facebook interior is more inclined to use the conventional and conservative way to achieve the IPO.
Some investment banks suggested Facebook to issue shares through the more than 800 million Facebook users. But this proposal has been rejected repeatedly by the Facebook’s management. Facebook’s management believes that it is inappropriate to sell shares to the users, while which will also lead to higher risk.
Facebook tends to use traditional methods, while the company also is contacting with some investment banks, hoping to introduce some unique elements into the IPO, including the non-public placement and the Dutch auction. Google’s 2004 IPO had adopted a Dutch auction.
