It has employed the services of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse as underwriters, with Jefferies, BMO Capital Markets and Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. acting as bookrunners for the proposed offering.
Vital Farms was founded in 2007 and is certified B Corp. The company distributes eggs nationwide across the US in more than 10,000 outlets and also produces ghee. It delivered $140.7m in revenues last year, with a net profit of $3.3m.
