MasterCard Incorporated, a leading global provider of credit and debit card services for 25,000 financial institutions, priced its highly anticipated IPO of 61.5 million shares at $39, below its proposed $40 to $43 price range, on Wednesday night. The $2.4 billion in proceeds raised by the offering made it the largest US IPO since Genworth Financial raised $2.8 billion exactly two years ago. Goldman Sachs was the lead manager on the deal. The stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker MA on Thursday.
