Rovio has had to discontinue the public offering of its IPO due to oversubscription.

This means that private individuals and entities in Finland, Denmark, and Sweden can no longer subscribe to the IPO. However, the institutional offering will continue.

Rovio announced its IPO earlier in September 2017. It is expecting to be valued between $958 million and $1.07 billion once the IPO has concluded.
