from the self-post dept.

Just heard from a friend that Roblox has announced Series H funding and is planning to go public via direct listing on NYSE

This is public; they submitted a "Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities" filing to the SEC today:

They even have a ticker: RBLX

Interesting, It looks like they want to avoid what happened with the DASH and ABNB IPOs.

It's interesting that Roblox features in Matt Levine's post for today (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-07/the-ip...) in the IPO Pops section. The story seems to be based on slightly older reports from December.
