Anthropic names eight Australian brokers for proposed US IPO retail offer

Anthropic has named CommSec as lead broker among eight Australian firms expected to distribute shares in a proposed retail offer linked to its U.S. IPO. The company plans to make the offer through an Australian prospectus, while its shares are expected to trade on Nasdaq rather than the Australian Securities Exchange. The distribution network includes Bell Potter, LGT Wealth, Macquarie, Morgans, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Sharesies and Stake, and is part of an international retail offer spanning 14 countries outside the United States. The IPO and retail offer remain proposed, pending completion of the offering and the required filings.
