Into these Volatile Markets Goes Star Bulk

In its first follow-on offering since it began operations in December 2007, Star Bulk Carriers Corp. announced on Monday an underwritten overnight offering of 16.5 million shares based upon its previously filed $250 million shelf registration. The next day the offering was upsized to 16.7 million shares and priced at $1.80 per share, a discount of 10.4% from Monday’s closing price. While the file to offer discount is somewhat higher than the average year to date of 7.2% indicated by Jefferies, recall this is shipping and the markets remain volatile. Net proceeds were approximately $28 million. In addition, the company is allocating the usual 15% of the offering or 2.51 million shares to cover over-allotments.
