This is the first Internet based IPO in Europe, and all shares in the initial offering were sold within 2 hours directly from the cBrain WEB site on February 9, 2006. cBrain is the first IT company to go public at the Copenhagen Stock Exchange during the last 5 years, and IPO cost have been greatly reduced compared to a traditional IPO due to the Internet based approach.
cBrain is following the example of the Internet based IPO of Google. cBrain developed its own composite application to support the IPO, thereby demonstrating the company vision of process driven solutions and the power of the Internet.
Challenging traditional thinking the IPO was not backed by an investment bank. The cost of the cBrain IPO has therefore been greatly reduced compared to a normal IPO with total out-of-pocket cost for the IPO at approximately $100.000. Furthermore, the offering was based on a fixed price offering of DKK 5 per share and share allocations were based on the principle of “first come first serve”. All shares were sold and allocated within 2 hours on the morning of February 9, 2006.
