No that is exactly what a DPO means. Slack did not issue new shares or raise any money when it went public.

No, it doesn't. Companies can still issue and sell new shares during a DPO. Where did people get this silly idea that companies do not raise capital during a DPO?

Slack simply chose not to do so.

I thought it was more but Slack did issue at least 1.2m new shares in the offering.
