MasterCard IPO
Posted by Victor Fleischer
MasterCard is going public. One aspect of the structure that sounds interesting: they are setting aside 10% of the shares to be controlled by a charitable foundation. This could be a branding move, or it could be an attempt to keep control with the banks (who will retain 40+ percent of the shares). Is this a common structure? Anyone know offhand where I should start looking to find out more?
Update: See my case study here.
