TORONTO, Ontario – 2P News (TSX:2PN), which recently raised a record $1.46 in its IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange at $3.4×10^-3 per share, reflecting a company value of $7.43, saw its share price soar 90% in its first day of trading, thereby increasing its market cap to a whopping $13.21. The popular Calgary-based online energy and political news outlet attempted an IPO back in 2015, but failed when Canadian Securities Commission learned that the company was issuing stock in now defunct paper Canadian Tire currency.
“An IPO is a milestone for 2P News. We started from very humble beginnings operating out of a shed in the parent’s backyard of my co-founding partner, Dr. Flowman. Now people can find us ‘office-sharing’ at local coffee shops throughout downtown Calgary. Being able to raise $1.46 this time around is a testament to our news offerings and other services which will soon include a new section called Permeability, more on that later.” – Antoine Mcguillicuddy, 2p News co-founder
According to the company’s mid-Q1 2019 report to investors, it plans to create a dividend program that pays out $0.00416 per month, or 5 cents per year.
“Antoine and I thought long and hard about if we should offer a dividend payout, and we figured we would, but only to those visitors who become official members of the site and who join our 2P News newsletter. And as an added bonus, those who register as a member of the site will have access to a new members only section called Permeability.” – Dr. Darcy Flowman, 2P News Co-founder
