Slack confidentially files to go public

Slack confidentially filed to go public, according to a press release published Monday.

Slack, a provider of chat and direct messaging services for businesses, is one of a number of tech IPOs expected in 2019, including Uber, Lyft and Airbnb. The company hired Goldman Sachs to lead its initial public offering as an underwriter, Reuters reported in December. Slack is planning to pursue a direct listing, sources told the Wall Street Journal, according to a report from last month.

Here is the full release from Slack:

Slack Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the proposed public listing of its Class A common stock. The public listing is expected to take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). This announcement is being issued in accordance with Rule 135 under the Securities Act.
