The initial public offering (IPO) consisted of 15,277,778 shares of the company’s common stock. The shares are now trading under the ticker symbol "MTSR" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Several prominent financial firms, including BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs & Co (NYSE:GS). LLC, Evercore ISI, Guggenheim Securities, and Cantor, are acting as joint bookrunners for the offering.

In addition to the initial offering, Metsera has also provided the underwriters with a 30-day option.

However, these additional shares would be available at the initial public offering price minus any underwriting discounts and commissions.
