It is the first version with a price range: $18.00 to $20.00 per share. Pricing has not happened, and neither has the listing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">Every share in this offering is sold by existing holders. <b>The money from the sale goes to the sellers, not to the company.<\/b> Even so, the original S-1, filed on August 28, already said the company would bear the costs of this offering. What was blank was the amount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">That line in the original S-1 left only the figure empty: &quot;the offering expenses (other than the underwriting discounts) will be approximately $ million. All such offering expenses will be paid for or otherwise borne by us.&quot; The September 14 version puts about $12.4 million in that spot. The estimate covers items such as registration, filing and listing fees, printing, and legal and accounting expenses. It excludes the discounts and commissions of the underwriters, the securities firms that sell the shares to investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">In the same version, the underwriting chapter adds a sentence: the underwriters have agreed to reimburse the company up to $2.5 million toward certain of its offering expenses. The company, for its part, will reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses up to $80,000. That $80,000 was already in the original S-1.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">The sellers&#x27; names went in too<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The original S-1 also defined &quot;Selling Stockholders&quot; with a line that pointed at nothing. The September 14 version fills it with two partnerships, CVC Blocker Holdco and Miramar Blocker Holdco. The filing defines the first as directly and\/or indirectly owned by the CVC Funds, and the second as directly and\/or indirectly owned by the CVC Funds and White Mountains. CVC here is CVC Capital Partners, a private markets manager headquartered in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomorrowaccess.com\/en\/s-1-journal\/bamboo-pricing-2026?utm_source=weekly&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=weekly05-en\" style=\"color:#daa241;\">Our check of the amendment that filled in the sellers&#x27; line<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">The table cannot say anything about this company yet<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">On our scoreboard, $1,000 put into each of the eleven companies in the Recent listings group at its first-day closing price (for Freenome, the day its SPAC merger closed) comes to $11,300 as of the September 18 close.
