Firefly Aerospace, a prominent player in the space and defense technology arena, has commenced the roadshow for its initial public offering (IPO), proposing to sell 16,200,000 shares of its common stock. The company also plans to provide underwriters with a 30-day option to buy an additional 2,430,000 shares at the IPO price, minus underwriting discounts and commissions. With shares priced between $35.00 and $39.00, Firefly aims to utilize the net proceeds for repaying credit agreement borrowings, settling unpaid dividends on preferred stock, and covering general corporate expenses.

The listing of Firefly’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol ‘FLY’ marks a significant milestone for the company. Esteemed financial institutions including Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan, Jefferies, and Wells Fargo Securities are leading the charge as bookrunning managers, with Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank Securities, and Cantor serving as joint bookrunners. Roth Capital Partners and Academy Securities will act as co-managers, underscoring the IPO’s robust support structure.

This move by Firefly Aerospace not only underscores its growth trajectory but also reflects the increasing investor interest in the space and defense technology sector. The IPO’s success could pave the way for further innovations and missions, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond, leveraging Firefly’s proven technologies in launch vehicles, lunar landers, and orbital vehicles. However, it’s important to note that the securities are pending registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cannot be sold until the registration becomes effective.
