June 3 (Reuters) – JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon plans to discuss the upcoming initial public offering of SpaceX with thousands of the bank’s high-net-worth clients this week, according to a report by Bloomberg News on Wednesday.
Dimon is set to host a “live interactive discussion” from the bank’s headquarters alongside Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO of JPMorgan Chase’s asset and wealth management division, the report said.
The discussion will also be joined by SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and CFO Bret Johnsen, it added.
The event will be simulcast to approximately 90 JPMorgan locations across 26 states, with more than 2,500 of the bank’s clients expected to attend, the report said, citing a person familiar with the matter.
SpaceX on Wednesday set an IPO price of $135 per share, a move that bypasses traditional Wall Street price-discovery mechanisms and highlights CEO Elon Musk’s strategy of setting his own terms for capital raises.
The company is aiming to raise $75 billion, the most ever for an IPO, in a deal that would value it at $1.75 trillion, immediately placing it among the top 10 most valuable U.S.-listed firms.
Major international banks, including Mizuho, Deutsche Bank, UBS and Barclays, have been urged to focus on lining up wealthy individual buyers in their home countries.
Banks often host road show events for investors ahead of an IPO. The road show is where companies and their bankers typically sound out investors in order to arrive at a price range for their share sale.
Investors have scrambled to secure a position in the deal, drawn by Elon Musk’s track record and the potential for the offering to generate millions of dollars in fees for Wall Street firms.
JPMorgan is one of the vast syndicate of banks working on the SpaceX IPO.
