Google IPO（株式公開） - オークションで

AP通信"Google Files Long-Awaited IPO Plans" によると、Google は幅広い層の株主を集めるため、競売方式で株式を配分するとのこと。

As expected, Google said the price of its IPO will be determined through an auction designed to give the general public a better chance to buy its stock before the shares begin trading, most likely in late summer or early autumn. IPO shares traditionally have been restricted to an elite group picked by the investment bankers handling the deal. [AP / Google Files Long-Awaited IPO Plans]
