[Anthropic Plans to Offer IPO Shares to UK Retail Investors Through RetailBook] According to a Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic plans to offer its IPO shares to UK retail investors through the investment platform RetailBook. Anthropic will utilize the UK's Public Offering Platform (POP) mechanism, eliminating the need for a UK prospectus. RetailBook, the licensed POP operator, will coordinate the offering, and other investment platforms can submit orders to it. SpaceX previously used this mechanism to sell $364 million worth of shares to UK retail investors in June. The plans are not yet finalized and are subject to change. Anthropic filed for its IPO on Monday, planning to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. Its filings indicate that individual investors in the UK and parts of Europe will be able to participate in the subscription.
