SpaceX completes $75 billion IPO at $135/share, valued at ~$1.78 trillion; Gibson Dunn lead counsel
SpaceX raised $75 billion through the sale of 555.6 million Class A shares priced at $135 per share. The offering included a US component and a European retail component covering Germany, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden, with up to 55.5 million shares offered to European retail investors and a separate UK retail offer through online platforms. Total legal fees were $25.5 million, with €4 million attributed to the European retail portion.
Why it mattersThe multi-jurisdictional structure with separate counsel for European retail (Freshfields and Latham) reflects the complexity of coordinating a cross-border IPO with multiple regulatory regimes and retail distribution channels; the €4 million European fee allocation signals material structuring work.
