Envivio sets IPO range

Envivio, a US-based video delivery system company backed by units of corporates Samsung, France Télécom, and NTT, has set the terms for its flotation, taking the maximum amount planned to be raised to $107m.

The company said in a filing with US regulator Securities and Exchange Commission today it would sell 7.75 million shares in a range of $10 to $12 per share. The company added underwriters have options to purchase 1.16 million shares.

The company is planning to list on Nasdaq under the symbol ENVI. Envivio postponed its planned initial public offering last year citing market conditions.

The flotation is being advised by banks Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Stifel Nicolaus Weisel and William Blair & Co. The top end of the range gives the company a market capitalisation of $320m, based on its 26.7 million shares outstanding.

The company’s largest shareholders are private equity firm HarbourVest’s fifth direct fund (17.6% before the IPO), venture firms Crescendo Ventures (16.6%), Sageview Capital Master (12.1%), Saints Capital (7.5%), Atlantic Bridge Ventures (6.9%) and Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (5.6%).

Selling shareholders include corporate-linked units Samsung Venture Investment Corporation (4%), France Télécom Technologies Investissements (1.6%) and NTT Leasing Capital (1%).

Other prior investors in Envivio include Intel Capital, although it is not listed among the selling shareholders.

The company was founded in 2000 by a group of software and electrical engineers from France Telecom. France Telecom took about a 10% stake in the company, when the engineers became independent and were provided with a software platform, which had been developed for four years at the French company.

Since inception the company has raised $95.1m in capital.

In the year to the end of January 2012 Envivio had revenues of $50.6m, a 68.7% increase on the same period the year before. Its net income was $762,000 in the year ending January 2012, against a loss of $2.5m in the prior year.
