The volume is 12 million and it hasn't traded under 23. So, yes, in theory they could have sold the block for more than $15, possibly as high as 23 and change.

Ya, I agree that it's likely that some money was left on the table though I'm skeptical that they could have gotten as high as 23. Comparing volume to the size of the IPO block is a bit of an Apples to Oranges comparison.

Oh, for sure. And it's better to "leave money on the table" than come out with a whimper. The pop will almost certainly help them do a secondary in the next 4-18 months.
