The German conga: embedded chip maker congatec Holding sets terms for $60 million US IPO

congatec Holding, a German fabless provider of embedded computer-on-module solutions, announced terms for its IPO on Wednesday.

The Deggendorf, Germany-based company plans to raise $60 million by offering 5.45 million ADSs (23% insider) at a price range of $10 to $12. At the midpoint of the proposed range, congatec would command a fully diluted market value of $205 million and an enterprise value of $160 million.
