Workplace messaging company Slack saw shares open at $38.50 in their direct offering on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange. Good news for the company at the closing bell they were still up and ended trading at $38.62 per share. This great start for the company comes after the NYSE set a price reference for shares in the company at $26.00. The reference price that the NYSE issued was not an offering price from investors, instead the reference was there to set a starting point for broker traders to initiate buy-sell orders after Thursday’s opening bell.
Slack’s initial opening on the NYSE was their first public listing, however unlike an IPO the company opted for a direct listing, and did not issue new equity, this meant that employees and other private investors in the company had the stock that they own transferred into publically tradeable shares. This also meant that Slack did not raise any fresh capital ahead of the listing. Directly listing a company has many benefits, however is an unusual way to go public, it is a much more cost efficient way for the company and less dilutive to those who are already holding shares. Most recently we have seen the direct listing approach taken by Spotify in 2018.
Slack saw its opening share price dictating its market cap of $19.4 Billion USD, this based on both their class A and class B shares outstanding, which were listed in an SEC filing on Wednesday. Just last year the company was valued privately at a respectable $7.1 Billion and since their founding in 2009 have raised over $1 Billion USD in private equity funding. This year has seen quite the growth for Slack already with shares being privately traded between $21.00 and $31.50 between February and March.

Akshaya Patra intends to introduce yoga sessions based on the prescribed guidelines of Ministry of Ayush in schools for the academic year in partnership with Yo2Yoga. As a part of this endeavour, yoga will be made a key component of morning assembly and teachers will be trained and enabled to train the children. In the long run, the introduction of yoga in schools is expected to result in improvement in posture, concentration, and overall health of the students.
