Redwood Materials IPO

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by J.B. Straubel. In September 2023, Yahoo Finance reported that Redwood Materials raised $1 billion in a recent Series D round, stating that “The company announced that the capital will be strategically used for enhancing capacity, developing a robust domestic battery supply chain and enabling the sale of battery materials produced in the United States for the first time.” Despite this funding, the company has not publicly endorsed a plan to participate in an IPO.

Redwood Materials is a battery cell recycling production company that helps clients effectively reuse and process raw materials into the battery supply chain for electric vehicles and energy products. Per Forge data, Redwood Materials has raised a total of $3.8 billion over 8 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Sep 5, 2023, from a Series D round. Key investors include Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the US Department of Energy, Climate Pledge Fund, Capricorn Investment Group, and T. Rowe Price.

These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.

2. The Last Closed Trade price displayed reflects the price at which the last trade in this company's security occurred on Forge, and can include secondary trades in any class of the company's security, or trades in units of funds holding the company's securities (the economics of which differ versus direct company ownership). The date displayed reflects the date on which the last trade in this company's security closed on Forge. This may be several weeks after the terms of the trade were agreed upon between the buyer and seller. In case of multiple trades closed on the same date, the price displayed is of either (i) the trade which terms were agreed upon most recently; or (ii) the trade with the higher notional value.

3. 90-Day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is calculated from transactions on Forge Markets in the preceding 90 days. The comparison (in green or red) demonstrates the difference between 90-Day VWAP and the company's most recent funding round share price estimate. The price shown for 90-Day VWAP is calculated from the price and volume for all transactions, buys or sells. VWAP does not include pricing information from other sources and may be materially different from transaction prices for the same company outside of Forge Markets. Each transaction is negotiated separately and the actual transaction price may be significantly different than the average of all transactions displayed as VWAP.
