IPO investment manager Renaissance Capital has reported the terms of CVSL’s planned uplisting to the NYSE MKT. The direct-selling conglomerate underwent a quiet period after filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission to raise capital in its uplisting bid.
CVSL is looking to raise $60 million with an offering of 6.7 million shares priced at $8 to $10. That would place CVSL’s midrange market value at $308 million. Shares in CVSL are currently traded over the counter, with a market value of about $293 million on the OTCQX.
To comply with NYSE MKT terms, CVSL last Friday implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock. Though it had no impact on the par value per share, the split reduced CVSL’s shares of common stock from 487,975,986 to approximately 24,398,800.
CVSL has built a portfolio that now includes seven direct selling or “micro-enterprise” companies across the home improvement, gourmet foods, skincare and nutrition industries. The brands operate independently of one another, while benefitting from combined expertise and efficiencies in finance, IT and the supply chain.
