据彭博社消息显示,有意出售股票的LinkedIn员工或持股人必须在本周末向SharesPost申请托管,买卖双方会在1月28日收到竞卖结果。

游戏邦还获知,该公司在外流通的股票约为9710万股,如果每股售价30美元的话,LinkedIn公司目前的市值就会达到为29亿1千万美元。通过本次的竞卖,SharesPost将至少对出售9万5千股的LinkedIn股票,起购价为10万美元。

本次二手股票交易将为LinkedIn股票持有人创造在公司正式上市前的一次买卖机会。LinkedIn公司已聘请Morgan Stanley和JPMorgan Chase投资银行作为上市顾问。

据游戏邦了解,目前LinkedIn在SharesPost二手市场上的公司估值约为25亿1千万美元,位列第四。排在首位的是市值760亿美元的Facebook,其次是Zynga和Twitter。

不久前,LinkedIn还获得了来自Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, the European Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures,高盛银行, The McGraw-Hill Companies和SAP Ventures等投资方总计1亿300万美元的资金。而在上一轮融资时(2008年10月),LinkedIn的估值约为10亿美元。由此看来,LinkedIn的估值极有可能在上市后再度攀升,所以才吸引了如此之众的投资者积极参与其中。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Recession or no Recession, Social Media sites are proving to be hot cake. LinkedIn shares are being sold for $30 a piece on the secondary stock exchange SharesPost, giving the social networking site a valuation of around $3 billion.

The auction is being kept private, but people close to the matter have started speaking. According to documents obtained by Bloomberg, LinkedIn employees and share holders would have to commit to SharesPost by the end of this week, and both buyers and sellers would be informed about the results of the auction on 28th of Jan.

LinkedIn has 97.1 million shares outstanding, and the $30 dollar a share price, gives the company a valuation of around $2.91 billion. SharesPost intends to sell at least 95,000 shares to buyers will to invest more than $100,000 in the company.

The secondary offering will give LinkedIn share holders a chance to divest their shares before the company finally files for an IPO. LinkedIn has already hired investment banks including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase to advise on an IPO.

LinkedIn is currently valued at $2.51 billion on SharesPost index, which makes it the fourth largest company by valuation on SharesPost, with Facebook being the largest with $76 billion valuation followed by Zynga and Twitter.

LinkedIn has raised $103 million in funding from Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, the European Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, Goldman Sachs, The McGraw-Hill Companies, and SAP Ventures. LinkedIn was valued at more than $1 billion in its last round in October 2008. The company has been in black, since the past couple of years.

There’s a very high likelihood that LinkedIn may fetch an astoundingly higher valuation, when it finally goes public. This would certainly be the reason, why many investors would be clamoring to get a piece of the pie. (Source:socialtimes)
