Joining the IPO frenzy of 2019, Slack finally announced the date of the company’s public offer, as stated back on Monday, May 13th, by Slack representatives.
Instead of going for a regular public offer through IPO, Slack is set to have a direct offer just like Spotify did back at the time when the company behind the music streaming application went public.
While Slack is said to open the first public trade on June 20th, investors will have more than a month to prepare for the opening sale of Slack shares.
