The figure is based on an offering of 50 million ordinary shares at a public offering price of $21 per ordinary share.

The underwriters will have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7.5 million ordinary shares from the selling shareholder at the initial public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions.

NIQ shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on 23rd July 2025 until 24th July 2025.

The company said that it intends to use the net proceeds from the initial public offering, together with available cash, to repay amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and a portion of the amounts outstanding under its US term loan facility.

The funds will also be used for working capital and for general corporate purposes. The company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by the selling shareholder.

J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, UBS Investment Bank, Barclays and RBC Capital Markets were joint lead book-running managers for the offering. Citigroup, Wells Fargo Securities, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank Securities, BMO Capital Markets and KKR also acted as joint book-running managers.

Baird, Needham & Company, Stifel, William Blair, Capital One Securities, Fifth Third Securities, SMBC Nikko, Academy Securities, Loop Capital Markets and Roberts & Ryan were co-managers for the offering.
