168 firms active in 2012, up to 300. Proceeds are the gross proceeds of the whole deal (price times shares sold), not the firm’s own allocation. “Registered” marks firms matched by name to the SEC’s broker-dealer list.
Data: SEC EDGAR. The quarterly full index (every S-1, S-1/A, F-1 and F-1/A since 1993, with the pricing prospectus, notice of effectiveness and withdrawal request of each registrant) and the company submissions data (SIC, state of incorporation, address, EIN, tickers, former names). Offering terms are read from the cover pages of the registrant's final prospectus (424B4, 424B1) and its latest registration statement before pricing: the price range, the final price, shares offered, gross proceeds (the cover's total, else price times shares), exchange and ticker, and the underwriters named on the cover and in the underwriting table (loader/s1_terms.py). Underwriter names are normalised, so Goldman, Sachs & Co. of 1999 and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC of 2024 are one firm.
