The report also noted that share allocations are expected to be heavily concentrated with large mutual funds.

• Trading Debut: Shares are set to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Friday.
• Ticker Symbol: The company will trade under the symbol OIG.

Market Implications

Pricing an IPO below the marketed range typically suggests that investor demand was weaker than underwriters initially anticipated at the higher valuation. This adjustment can be a strategy to ensure a successful offering and support the stock's performance in its initial trading sessions.

The offering is being managed by a syndicate of banks that includes Royal Bank of Canada, UBS Group AG, and Raymond James Financial Inc., according to the report.
