Docebo Announces Initial Public Offering in the United States and Public Offering in Canada
01 December 2020 - 10:37PM
Business Wire
Docebo Inc. (“Docebo”) (TSX:DCBO) today announced the launch of
a marketed public offering of Docebo’s common shares in the United
States and Canada, representing Docebo's initial public offering in
the United States.
In connection with the initial public offering in the United
States, Docebo has filed an application to list its common shares
on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Nasdaq") under the ticker
"DCBO". Trading of Docebo’s common shares is expected to commence
on the Nasdaq following pricing of the offering. Docebo’s common
shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
"TSX") under the symbol "DCBO".
A total of US$125 million of common shares will be offered by
Docebo for sale in the offering, which will be conducted through a
syndicate of underwriters led by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs
& Co. LLC and Canaccord Genuity, as joint lead book-running
managers. The offering will be priced in the context of the market,
with the price and total size of the offering to be determined at
the time of entering into an underwriting agreement for the
offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
Docebo will also grant the underwriters an over-allotment
option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of the
Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to US$18.75 million of
additional common shares, representing in the aggregate 15% of the
total number of common shares to be sold pursuant to the
offering.
Docebo expects that the net proceeds of the offering will be
used primarily to strengthen the Company's financial position and
allow it to pursue its growth strategies, which include: expanding
its customer base; supporting the growth of existing customers;
expanding its solutions; and other general corporate purposes.
Closing of the offering will be subject to a number of customary
conditions, including the entering into of the Underwriting
Agreement, the listing of Docebo’s common shares on the Nasdaq and
the TSX, and any required approvals of the Nasdaq and the TSX.
In connection with the offering, Docebo filed a preliminary
prospectus supplement to its base shelf prospectus with the
securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and
territories of Canada. The preliminary prospectus supplement and a
base shelf prospectus have also been filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission as part of a registration statement on Form
F-10 under the U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system
(MJDS). The public offering will be made in Canada only by means of
the base shelf prospectus and preliminary prospectus supplement and
in the United States only by means of the registration statement,
including the base shelf prospectus and preliminary prospectus
supplement. Such documents contain important information about the
offering. Copies of the base shelf prospectus and the preliminary

This forward-looking information is based on our opinions,

conditions being conducive to the offering on the timeline
currently anticipated or at all; fluctuations in the market price

its impact on Docebo, economic conditions, and global markets; the
failure of Docebo and/or the underwriters to satisfy closing
conditions to the offering; the failure of Docebo to satisfy
certain Nasdaq and/or TSX listing requirements; the failure of
Docebo to use any of the proceeds received from the offering in a
