Big IPO news just in folks – King Digital Entertainment, or ‘King’ to most people, has announced (via Re/Code) that it’s planning to go public.
The social games company, perhaps most famous for Candy Crush, says it has filed a Form F-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with a view towards selling ordinary shares. It’s worth noting here that the number of shares and the price range for the IPO have yet to be finalized, but King says it will list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ‘KING’.
As a London-headquarterd company, this is big news for the European tech industry.
