Credo Technology Group Holding, which provides semiconductor solutions for optical and electrical Ethernet applications, raised $200 million by offering 20 million shares (8% secondary) at $10, the low end of the range of $10 to $12. The company offered 5 million fewer shares than anticipated. New and existing investors had indicated on $120 million worth of shares in the offering (60% of the deal).

Credo's connectivity solutions are optimized for optical and electrical ethernet applications. Its product families include Integrated Circuits (ICs), Active Electrical Cables (AECs), and SerDes Chiplets. Its intellectual property (IP) solutions consist primarily of SerDes IP licensing.
