Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Select Comfort Corp announced today that it closed a public offering of 3.8 million shares of common stock. The mattress maker anticipated net proceeds of roughly $16.4 million, and plans to use the proceeds to rid itself of outstanding debt and bolster working capital.

 

The offering was priced at $4.75 per share and excludes $1.6 million that Select Comfort will receive if minority shareholder Sterling SC Investor, which owns about 9 percent interest in the company, exercises its contractual pre-emptive rights.
