Italian business credit data provider Cerved Information Solutions spa will start trading today at the Italian Stock Exchange. Initial public offering price was set at 5.1 euro per share meaning the company has a market capitalization of 995 million euros (see here a previous post of BeBeez).
On the whole demand was for 188.262.057 shares from 3.847 counterparts (download here the press release), that is to say that demand was double the 96 million shares offered, overallotment option included.
