Silex Microsystems AB begins trading on Nasdaq Stockholm after completing an initial public offering for the MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) specialist. Bloomberg reports the IPO raises about 2 billion Swedish kronor (about $220 million), including capital for the company and reflecting involvement by Chinese shareholder Sai MicroElectronics Inc. The Next Web adds further details on deal terms, saying the IPO is priced at SEK 81 per share and that the offering is oversubscribed. It states that the transaction is backed by Bure Equity and Creades, and that the “pure-play” MEMS foundry approach is a key focus of the listing. According to The Next Web, cornerstone investors take a large share of the offering, with names including Capital Research, Fidelity, AFA, AP2, AP3, AP4, Swedbank Robur, and Carnegie. Both outlets describe a strong first-day market reaction, with Silex shares opening significantly higher on the day of trading.
