Facebook Finalizes IPO Listing Plans: Sources

So the Facebook (FB) IPO is now complete. Zuckerberg has collected his billions, the underwriters took their (discounted) selling commission, investors have taken a bath, and the class action suits are already being filed. The transaction was a disappointment by any objective measure.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably know that Facebook (FB) has filed for listing on the stock exchanges and plans to raise $5 billion through its IPO, which is rumored to value the firm at $100 billion. I have several issues with the IPO, starting with the fact that Mark Zuckerberg (who I greatly respect) will dominate the company and the shareholders will have little control over the happenings at Facebook. I plan on discussing the management issues in a separate article.
