Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square files for IPO on the NYSE
Pershing Square aims to raise at least $5 billion with a dual listing on the NYSE, backed by $2.8 billion in secured commitments from institutional and high-net-worth investors.
- On Tuesday, Pershing Square filed to list on the NYSE, planning a dual listing of Pershing Square and Pershing Square USA under tickers PS and PSUS.
- The listing aims to give public investors a stake in Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management's concentrated large‑cap portfolio, as there had been no public market for Pershing Square common stock before this combined offering.
- The firm has already secured $2.8 billion in commitments from family offices, pension funds, insurance companies and ultra‑high‑net‑worth investors, and PSUS is priced at $50.00 per share with 20 PSI Shares per 100 PSUS Shares allocated.
- The deal employs a dual‑listing structure with concurrent listing of common shares and PSUS on the NYSE; these securities will trade separately, allowing investors to buy or sell each independently.
- Pershing Square is seeking to raise at least $5 billion in the IPO, and Bill Ackman's profile could draw broad investor attention to the New York Stock Exchange listing.
