243.0. "Banyan, any info?" by SPESHR::FORTIER (I'd rather be shooting pool!) Tue Jul 14 1992 16:17

    
       Banyan of Westboro MA is about to have an IPO. Does anybody have
    information about the company. All that I have heard is the initial
    offering price will be between $10-$12.

 Banyan Systems - Going public. To sell 2.67 million shares at $10 to $12 each
	{The Boston Globe, 30-Jun-92, p. 35}
   Banyan will sell 1.4 million shares itself, while existing shareholders
 would offer the remaining 1.27 million shares. The Westborough, Mass.,
 computer networking company said in its prospectus that selling shareholders
 would include founder and chairman David C. Mahoney and some of its longtime
 investors. Among the existing shareholders not selling stock are Greylock
 Ventures Ltd. Partnership, Banyan's largest stockholders, and Sutter Hill
 Ventures of Palo Alto, Calif. After the offering, Banyan would have 15.2
 million shares outstanding, with 9% held by the public.
