Shopify will raise about $246 million through the sale of five million treasury shares, the company said Wednesday.
The offering will also see Bessemer Venture Partners, which was the lead investor in Shopify’s series A investment round in 2010 and also participated in its series B and C rounds, as well as several Shopify executives sell another 2.5 million shares.
The proceeds of that – more than $123 million – will go to the selling shareholders.
