      "summary": "Bob's Discount Furniture sold 19.45 million primary shares at $17.00 in February 2026, raising $330.65 million gross and approximately $302.7 million net. The proceeds repaid a term loan borrowed three months earlier to help fund a $423.3 million dividend to pre-IPO holders. The offering was therefore principally a refinancing of a shareholder distribution rather than a source of growth capital, and Bain Capital retained approximately 73.2% after the over-allotment.",
