LONDON, April 7 (Reuters) - Austrian aluminium group AMAG and digital sports media company Perform Groupcompleted plans for their stock market listings on Thursday, pricing their shares at the bottom of previously set ranges.
Companies are pressing ahead with initial public offerings (IPOs) after market volatility -- which spiked last month on fears over economic disruption linked to the nuclear crisis in Japan and unrest in the Arab world -- derailed several other planned floats.
But with a glut of companies competing for attention and the risk of uncertainty returning, buyers can afford to be discerning, bankers say, meaning companies wanting to get share sales done need a strong story and realistic price expectations.
AMAG priced its IPO at 19 euros per share, the bottom of its revised 19 to 21 euros range, raising more than $500 million in the first Vienna listing since October 2007.
Perform Group set a price of 260 pence-per-share, again at the bottom of an earlier 260 to 280 pence range. The shares will start trading on Friday.
Perform, which provides live streaming of sport videos and sports news and runs the websites of the Premier League and Chelsea Football Club, said it would have a market capitalisation of around 586 million pounds.
The group had earlier delayed its market debut after Germany proposed changing gambling regulations and tax.
Perform's management and employees own 40 percent of the company. Access Industries, a privately held U.S.-based industrial group owned by Len Blavatnik, has a 58 percent stake.
BOOKS TO CLOSE
British vacuum technology company Edwards is also due to close the books on its 350 million pound ($570 million) London float and is likely to sell its shares at 200p each -- the bottom of its guidance range -- two people close to the deal said.
The London market is also due to welcome a host of other European companies over the coming weeks.
Russian sugar and pork producer Rusagro and German engineering group Norma are due to complete listings later this week -- among some 12 European companies still looking to list by Easter, a field led by Russian issuers.
Four Russian companies plan to float this month, seeking to raise a total of up to $3 billion -- just over half the amount raised by Russian issuers in the whole of 2010.
Alongside Rusagro is a $700 million listing by bank Nomos, real estate developer Etalon's $500 million share sale, and mobile phone retailer Euroset's up to $1.5 billion float, with the latter three all due to be wrapped up in mid-April.
Fears of a repeat of the outcome a similar charge earlier in the year which saw three firms pull their listings and a fourth, pumps manufacturer Hydraulic, drastically cut the size of its offering, were soothed by news that the offering by Nomos is fully subscribed.
