Revolut CEO Nikolay Storonsky to Offload Shares in $500M Sale – What’s Going On?
Revolut CEO Nikolay Storonsky plans to sell a portion of his stake in a $500 million share sale, adjusting his multibillion-dollar investment in the fintech giant.
According to a July 8 report by Sky News, Storonsky plans to offload a portion worth “tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars” in this secondary deal. The precise size of Storonsky’s stake is currently unspecified.
The final amount of shares sold will depend on the valuation that Revolut attracts from new investors and the allocation decisions made by the company and its advisors, Morgan Stanley.
The report stated that the company targets a $40 billion valuation for the share sale. Last month, Revolut engaged Morgan Stanley to manage the sale, looking for a valuation no lower than the $33 billion achieved in its 2021 primary funding round.
