(NYSE:BAC), will still have a greenshoe option to purchase 2.4 million additional shares within 30 days of the offering.

Why It Matters

The new IPO range values Jamf between $2.44 billion and $2.68 billion.

Majority stakeholder Vista Equity Partners will own 77% of the company's outstanding common stock at the end of the offering, and 74.9% if the underwriters exercise the overallotment option.

Private funds Dragoneer Investment Group and Tiger Global Management have expressed interest in purchasing about $50 million worth of shares each, at the IPO price, Jamf said.

In a previous filing with the SEC, the company said it had about 40,000 clients as of June, including International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), SAP SE (NYSE:SAP), and Apple itself.
