Selling stockholders are offering additional 1.3 million Class A shares, according to updated S-1/A. Following the IPO, early VC investors Bullpen Capital and InterWest Partners exit selling a part of their shares. Braze granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 800,000 Class A shares. We will use a discounted valuation methodology based on estimated bull, base and bear long-term growth scenarios for Braze to set a 12-month price target. Moreover, in our insight we will examine a group of comparable SaaS companies and use EV/Revenue valuation methodology with a focus on calendar year 2022.</p>
