Key Metrics for Technology and Life Sciences Initial Public Offerings
H1 2017
Survey Introduction and Background
This report has been developed as a resource for our clients and friends interested in understanding recent IPO activity of technology and life sciences companies. This information comprises a number of graphs and charts reflecting selected statistics that we believe provide useful information about activity in these markets. This is followed by the listing of technology and life sciences IPOs priced in the first half of 2017 and second half of 2016. We hope that you find this useful. Please contact Daniel J. Winnike at [email protected] or Jeffrey R. Vetter at [email protected] if you care to discuss this information or, as always, contact members of your client service team for more information.

Survey Results IPO Market Maintains Moderate Pace
The market for technology and life sciences IPOs in the first half of 2017 continued the moderate pace of the second
half of 2016. In the 2017 period, there were 12 technology and 15 life sciences IPOs, for a total of 27 offerings. This
compares with the second half of 2016, when 14 technology IPOs and 17 life sciences IPOs were completed, for a
total of 31 deals. In 2017, 20 of the IPOs were for U.S.-based companies and seven were for internationally-based
issuers. The San Francisco Bay Area produced four of the technology and life sciences IPOs in the first half of 2017,
and the rest of California had an additional five, primarily in the life sciences space.
The closely watched Snap transaction was the largest IPO in the first half of 2017, generating proceeds of $3.4
billion. No other technology IPO exceeded the billion dollar threshold. The largest life sciences deal produced gross
proceeds of $168 million.
There was a great deal of publicity about dual-class, high vote/low/no vote capital structures related to the Snap
offering, in which the shares offered to the public were non-voting shares. Of the nine domestic technology
companies completing offerings in the first half of 2017 other than Snap, five had adopted dual class voting
structures, with low-vote shares being sold to IPO investors. None of the life sciences companies completing
offerings in the 2017 period had adopted dual class structures.
Once again, technology deals were larger than their life sciences counterparts, with 75% of technology transactions
exceeding $100 million, while just 20% of the life sciences transactions exceeded $100 million. Technology deals
in 2017 were also larger than in the second half of 2016. In 2017, 55% of the IPOs had gross proceeds over $175
million, compared to 21% in the second half of 2016, and only 25% raised less than $100 million, compared with
57% in the second half of 2016. Although life sciences offerings were smaller than technology offerings, the size
of life sciences offerings increased compared to recent prior periods. In the first half of 2017, 73% of life sciences
transactions produced gross proceeds of $75 million or more, compared to 51%, 43% and 58% in 2016, 2015 and
2014. There were no life sciences IPOs producing less than $50 million in proceeds in the 2017 period, compared
with 16%–18% of such life sciences IPOs in 2016, 2015 and 2014. It is unclear whether this change in 2017 reflects
a greater market appetite for life sciences IPOs, thereby leading to larger deal sizes, a reduced market appetite for
lower valued life sciences IPOs or other factors.
Life sciences IPOs also appeared to experience more predictable pricing in the 2017 period, as 93% of the
transactions priced in or above their red herring price range. This compares with approximately 50%–60% of life
sciences IPOs pricing in or above the range in 2016, 2015 and 2014. In the first half of 2017, 83% of the technology
IPOs priced in or above the range, which was consistent with pricing results in each of the previous three years.
Of the 12 technology IPOs in the 2017 period, 10 concluded their first day of trading above the IPO price, while of the
15 life sciences offerings, eight traded up and three closed their first day of trading at the IPO price.
In the life sciences space, significant insider participation continued, with insider participation ranging from 23% to
83% of the offering size. Of the life sciences deals, 10 reported insider purchases. In the technology space, five IPOs
had some modest levels of insider participation, more in the nature of typical “directed share” programs, with insiders
generally purchasing under 10% of the offering size.
In recent periods, life sciences IPO filings experienced a shorter time for SEC review than technology offerings.
However, for offerings completed in the first half of 2017, technology and life sciences IPOs had, largely, similar
times from initial submission with the SEC until pricing. Excluding offerings where the period from the initial filing to
pricing exceeded 200 days (which we suspect involved discretionary delay by the issuer beyond simply time for SEC
processing), technology and life sciences IPO filings each had average periods from initial submission to pricing of
approximately 110 days.

Price Changes Around the Expiration of the Lock-Up
In order to assist the development of an orderly market for the shares being offered, IPO underwriters require the
stockholders of the offering company to agree not to sell shares of the company’s common stock for a specified
period without the underwriters’ consent. Customarily, this period is 180 days and applies equally to all holders
delivering the “lock-up” agreement, although in a few instances the lock-up may roll off in stages, and different holders
may be subject to different restrictive periods. Upon expiration of the lock-up period, there generally is an influx of
“supply,” as pre-IPO stockholders have their first ability to sell shares into the public market. The graphs below show
the average and median changes in the closing trading price of the subject company shares for the period beginning
two weeks prior, and ending two weeks following, the scheduled expiration of the lock-up period for lock-ups expiring
in the first half of 2017 and second half of 2016. Those companies completing IPOs in the second half of 2016 and a
follow-on offering within 180 days are excluded from the first graph below. Those companies completing IPOs in the
first half of 2016 and a follow-on offering within 180 days are excluded from the second graph below.

Insider Participation
The charts below show the percentage of life sciences and technology IPOs where the final prospectus indicated
that specified “insiders” had expressed an interest in purchasing shares in the offering. Insiders are directors and
officers of a company as well as existing stockholders. In this case, insiders are typically existing investors who
buy additional shares in the IPO. Among life sciences IPOs with insider interest, the inset shows the breakdown of
shares set aside for insiders.

Methodology
Data points used in the compilation and analysis of this information were gathered using a variety of resources,
including, but not limited to, filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, lock-up expiration
dates from EDGAR Online IPO Deal Data and daily stock-trading price data. The exact dates upon which lock-ups
expired were estimated based on disclosure in the prospectuses and may further be approximate in the case of
dates falling on holidays or weekends. Companies were assigned to the Technology and Life Sciences sectors
based on SIC codes and other company descriptors.
The information in the graphs and tables regarding offering size does not reflect any exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment, or green shoe, option. Information at the red herring stage is based on the midpoint of the range
and on the number of shares offered, as reflected on the cover page of the first preliminary, or red herring,
prospectus. The information regarding the actual offering size is based on the price to the public and the
aggregate number of shares offered, as reflected on the cover page of the final prospectus. The closing price on
the first day of trading is the closing price on the company’s primary exchange on the first day of public trading of
the shares following the pricing of the offering.
Disclaimer
The preparation of the information contained herein involves assumptions, compilations and analysis, and there
can be no assurance that the information provided herein is error-free. Neither Fenwick & West LLP nor any of
its partners, associates, staff or agents shall have any liability for any information contained herein, including any
