随着Anthropic向着一场巨大的IPO大步迈进,该IPO可能将其估值达到1.4万亿美元,该公司在其新提交的S-1文件中披露了一个细节:其七位联合创始人各自计划出售多少股。

As Anthropic barrels toward an enormous IPO that could value it at $1.4 trillion, the company has disclosed a tidbit in its new S-1 filing about how many shares each of its seven co-founders plan to sell.

每位将出售337万8378股。Anthropic设定了一个异常宽泛的初始价格区间,为每股70美元至78美元。按中间价74美元计算,每位创始人将获得略低于2.5亿美元。

Each will sell 3,378,378 shares. Anthropic has floated an unusually broad initial price range of $70 to $78 a share. At the mid-range of $74, each founder would take in just shy of $250 million.

按低端价格70美元计算,每位将不得不满足于获得略高于2.36亿美元现金;按高端价格78美元计算,每位将获得略低于2.64亿美元。

At the low end, $70, each would have to settle for pocketing just over $236 million cash; at the high end, $78, each would take in just under $264 million.

然而,在像这次这样备受期待的IPO中,公司通常可以将股价定在初始区间之上。

However, in an IPO as eagerly anticipated as this one, companies can often price shares above the initial range.

S-1文件已经暗示了高需求。董事会成员里德·黑斯廷斯表示,他希望通过其捐赠建议基金购买价值3亿美元的股份。董事会成员克里斯托弗·利德尔也希望购买价值300万美元的股份。

The S-1 is already hinting at high demand. Board member Reed Hastings has indicated he wants to buy $300 million worth of shares through his donor-advised fund. Board member Christopher Liddell also wants to buy $3 million worth of shares.

七位联合创始人分别是:首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊;总裁兼董事会主席丹妮拉·阿莫代伊;首席计算官汤姆·布朗;公共利益负责人杰克·克拉克;首席科学官贾里德·卡普兰(上图所示);首席架构师萨姆·麦坎德利什;以及可解释性研究负责人克里斯托弗·奥拉。

The seven co-founders are CEO Dario Amodei; Daniela Amodei, president and chair of the board; Tom Brown, chief compute officer; Jack Clark, head of public benefit; Jared Kaplan, chief science officer (pictured above); Sam McCandlish, chief architect; and Christopher Olah, interpretability research lead.

S-1文件称,出售后,他们每人将持有约3.2%的已发行A类股份总额,合计约占22%。这并非他们在公司整体中的股份比例。A类只是Anthropic的多个股份类别之一,其他持有者(包括亚马逊和谷歌)持有无投票权的N类股份,因此创始人在公司总股权中的份额将小得多。即便如此,他们作为一个群体,仍将控制公司。每位还将获得一股F类股票,该股票拥有超级投票权。创始人集体将控制51.1%的投票权,但没有任何一位创始人持有的股份或投票权会显著多于其他人。

After the sale, each of them will own about 3.2% of the total outstanding Class A shares, the S-1 says, or roughly 22% collectively. That’s not their share of the company overall. Class A is just one of Anthropic’s share classes, and other holders, including Amazon and Google, hold non-voting Class N shares, so the founders’ stake in the company’s total equity will be considerably smaller. Even still, they, as a group, remain in control of the company. Each will also receive one share of Class F stock, which carries supervoting rights. Collectively, the founders will control 51.1% of the votes, but no single founder will hold significantly more shares or votes than the others.

正如业内众所周知,七人于2021年因对AI应如何构建与OpenAI领导层存在分歧而离开OpenAI,创立了Anthropic。担任OpenAI高级研究和政策职务的兄妹达里奥·阿莫代伊和丹妮拉·阿莫代伊,与五位OpenAI同事一起成立了这家公司。该公司自成立起就非常公开地表示,比起包括其创始人前雇主在内的竞争对手,它更专注于AI安全。

As is now industry lore, the seven left OpenAI to start Anthropic in 2021 after disagreements with OpenAI’s leadership over how AI should be built. Siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who held senior research and policy roles at OpenAI, were joined by five fellow OpenAI colleagues in forming a company that has said, very publicly and from the start, that it’s more focused on AI safety than its rivals, including the founders’ former employer.
