Key IPOs This Week: Greenhill & Co, Phillips-Van Heusen (BOOM, GHL, PVH)

Dynamic Materials (BOOM) should finally get this proposed secondary of 5.15+ million shares behind it. Last month, the company disclosed that France's SNPE would be selling its 5.15+ million share stake so BOOM itself will not benefit from any of the proceeds. Over the last year the shares are up well over 100%, but the shares are now off about 10% and have been down as much as about 17% since BOOM released earnings and disclosed this secondary offering.

Greenhill & Co (GHL) is expected to raise over $225M after its filing last week to sell 4.025 million shares, although these shares are being sold entirely by current and former directors and GHL will get none of the proceeds. This stock is also up over 100% in the last year after a strong IPO since it is active in the M&A markets, and the company has actually recovered quite well off of its lows after having been down over 10%.

Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) will be selling 10M shares this week, and just like the other deals the proceed are going to selling holders. Apax Partners is selling these shares it received in conjunction with convertible shares from PVH's acquisition of Calvin Klein in February 2003.

We do have many other offerings, but these were the initial stand-outs on deck. Next week we should see the pricing of the long-awaited Burger King IPO.
