Twitter Files For An Initial Public Offering

Twitter disclosed on Twitter Thursday afternoon that it’s in the process of filing for an initial public offering.

On its official Twitter page, Twitter wrote, “We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. This Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.”

The message comes straight out of the boilerplate language used on a typical regulatory filing when a company intends to sell publicly traded shares to investors.
