ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD
As previously disclosed in the Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2018, in connection with its initial public offering, Livent Corporation ("Livent"), a subsidiary of FMC Corporation ("FMC", "us"), had granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount, for 30 days after the date of the Prospectus. On November 8, 2018, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares.
Livent sold an aggregate of 23,000,000 shares of its common stock with net proceeds to Livent of approximately $368 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. As of November 13, 2018, Livent had 146,000,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. The closing of the sale of 20,000,000 shares was completed on October 15, 2018 and the closing of the sale of 3,000,000 shares pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares was completed on November 13, 2018.
