I was alerted to NetLink's IPO by my broker, who contacted me two weeks ago to offer private placement shares. The IPO officially opens tomorrow for public subscription, and there's been a lot of media hype over what is being said to be the year's "biggest IPO".

Details:

- 185 million public tranche
- IPO closes on 17 July 2017, 12 noon.
Business:
