Insights

Once Upon a Farm completed an $18-per-share IPO with primary and secondary stock sales.

The company executed an underwritten initial public offering where it issued 7,631,537 new common shares at $18.00 per share, alongside selling stockholders who sold 3,365,672 shares. Underwriters also received a 30‑day option for up to 1,649,581 additional shares, which can increase the total offering size.

Alongside the listing, the company put standard public‑company infrastructure in place: new charter and bylaws effective on February 9, 2026, registration rights and director nomination agreements for key holders, and broad‑based equity compensation and purchase plans. These steps align governance and incentives with life as a newly public company, while the actual post‑IPO ownership mix and dilution will depend on total shares outstanding disclosed elsewhere.
