IPO: Panne beim Versenden einer E-Mail – Anthropic macht Ziele für Börsengang versehentlich öffentlich
Ein Mitarbeiter des Startups hat eine E‑Mail mit vertraulichen Details versehentlich an den falschen Verteiler geschickt. Demnach will Anthropic fast 70 Milliarden Dollar einnehmen.
Serious malfunction occurred during the billion-dollar IPO launch of AI startup Anthropic. On Monday evening (local time), a company employee inadvertently sent a document containing all emission data for the share offering to banks via email. This revealed Anthropic's aim to raise up to $69.3 billion from the IPO. The price range for the 867 million shares up for sale is set between $70 and $80.
Tech giants, including Alphabet, Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, and TSMC, planned to invest $26 billion in a special category of Anthropic shares at the offering price. Shortly after, the company clarified in another email that the details of the price determination were incorrect, and new information would be sent later. The exact nature of the error remained undisclosed by Anthropic upon request.
Anthropic's management plans to embark on a promotional tour for the IPO share offering to investors starting from Tuesday. The offering price is expected to be finalized in the next week. The IPO launch of Anthropic is shadowed by doubts regarding the economic success of investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
