Anthropic Taps Macquarie and 7 Other Firms to Handle Australian IPO Retail Offering

Nov. 3: According to Bloomberg, Anthropic said in an announcement on its website that it has selected eight institutions — Macquarie Group, Commonwealth Bank's CommSec, Morgans Financial, Bell Potter Capital, LGT Wealth Management, Stake, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Australia and Sharesies — to participate in the Australian retail offering of its IPO. Local retail investors will be able to subscribe once Anthropic files its prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Australia is one of the few countries outside the United States where investors can subscribe directly for Anthropic shares, alongside Japan, Canada and parts of Europe. According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic plans to list on Nasdaq before U.S. Thanksgiving.
