Montrose Environmental Group announces public offering of common stock

Montrose Environmental Group, Inc., a leading environmental services company, has announced the pricing of its public offering of 3 million shares of common stock. Priced at $37.15 per share, the offering is set to raise substantial funds for the company’s ambitious expansion plans.

The underwriters have been granted an option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares, further enhancing the potential capital boost for Montrose.

The offering, which is being conducted by the company itself, is anticipated to close by April 22, 2024, contingent upon the fulfillment of standard closing conditions.

Montrose has earmarked the net proceeds from this offering for a variety of corporate endeavors.

These include the acceleration of strategic growth initiatives such as acquisitions, business expansion, and the commercialization of intellectual property, particularly in light of the increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Additionally, the funds will be allocated towards research and development, software development, capital expenditures, working capital, and debt repayment.

A consortium of financial powerhouses is managing the offering, with J.P. Morgan, William Blair, and Evercore ISI leading as joint book-running managers.

They are joined by BofA Securities, Stifel, Needham & Company, and Capital One Securities, who are also acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.

This move by Montrose underscores the company’s commitment to maintaining its position at the forefront of environmental services, adapting to regulatory changes, and pursuing growth through innovation and strategic investments.
