Anthropic七位创始人拟售股套现
据报道,Anthropic 的 S-1 文件披露,七位联合创始人计划各出售 3,378,378 股,初步发行价区间为每股 70 至 78 美元。TechCrunch AI 估算每位创始人的所得约为 2.36 亿至 2.64 亿美元,按 74 美元中位价计算接近 2.5 亿美元。文件还称,凭借具有超级投票权的 Class F 股份,创始人合计仍将控制 51.1% 的投票权。
拟议股份出售将为创始人带来大额流动性,同时创始团队仍据报保留集体投票控制权,因此这是 IPO 中值得关注的所有权与治理事件。
As Anthropic barrels toward an enormous IPO that could value it at $1.4 trillion IPO, the company has disclosed a tidbit in its new S-1 filing about how many shares each of its seven co-founders plan to sell.
Each will sell 3,378,378 shares. Anthropic has floated an unusually broad initial price range of $70 to $78 a share. At the mid-range of $74, each founder would take in just shy of $250 million.
At the low end, $70, each would have to settle for pocketing just over $236 million cash; at the high end, $78, each would take in just under $264 million.
However, in an IPO as eagerly anticipated as this one, companies can often price shares above the initial range.
The S-1 is already hinting at high demand. Board member Reed Hastings has indicated he wants to buy $300 million worth of shares through his donor-advised fund. Board member Christopher Liddell also wants to buy $3 million worth of shares.
The seven co-founders are CEO Dario Amodei; Daniela Amodei, president and chair of the board; Tom Brown, chief compute officer; Jack Clark, head of public benefit; Jared Kaplan, chief science officer (pictured above); Sam McCandlish, chief architect; and Christopher Olah, interpretability research lead.
