Social networking giant Facebook expects to raise about $1.48 billion from its underwritten registered public offering of 70 million shares at $ 55.05 per share.
The California-headquartered firm plans to use the funds raised for working capital needs and corporate purposes.
"The public offering price of the offering is $55.05 per share and the company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $1.48 billion after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses," Facebook said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
last week, the company had announced the pricing of its underwritten registered public offering of 70,000,000 shares of its 'Class A' shares at $55.05 a piece.
About 27 million shares are being offered by the firm, while around 42.99 million shares are being offered by some selling stockholders, which includes co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
