Seeking the Nasdaq ticker symbol OPEN, the online restaurant reservation service OpenTable took another step toward an initial public stock offering in a Wednesday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In a prospectus, OpenTable set an offering price between $12 and $14 per share. The San Francisco-based company, which says it now serves nearly 10,000 restaurants, said it expected to net $16.1 million from the offering, based on a price of $13 per share. The price could move higher if institutional investors show a strong interest.
