SpaceX Assigns Some IPO Banks to Lowest Co-Manager Tier for Small Fees

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 10

Summary

  • Several lower-line banks in SpaceX’s IPO syndicate were told in recent weeks they would serve only as co-managers, the lowest-ranking role on the deal.
  • Those assignments come with relatively small fees and no league-table credit, leaving some junior banks frustrated despite SpaceX’s high-profile listing.
  • Societe Generale and Mizuho Financial Group were among the banks notified of the junior status, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • The lineup details highlight how tightly prized economics and recognition are being controlled in what is shaping up as a landmark SpaceX flotation.
