Spotify Files for Public Offering, Identifying as SPOT

Music streaming service Spotify is officially going public and has just released their filing. Under the ticket symbol “SPOT,” the company joins the ranks of the New York Stock Exchange.

Spotify is valuing their offer at $1 billion, planning to go public without fundraising. Following a nontraditional IPO process, the company will not have a share opening price. Instead, it valued it’s share based on private sales from earlier this year: between $90.00 and $132.50.
