The company sold 14.8 million shares in the IPO, down from an expected 15.6 million shares, while selling shareholders reduced their offering to 6.7 million shares from 7.1 million shares. The stock's first trade was at $9.01 at 11:40 a.m. Eastern for about 1.8 million shares, which valued the company at about $1.73 billion. The stock has extended losses since, to trade down 11.3% at $8.87. The downbeat opening for the shares comes on a relatively upbeat day for IPOs, as the Renaissance IPO ETF
