Edgen Group said it will list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "EDG."
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on May 2, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The underwriters to the offering will be granted an option to purchase up to an additional 2.25 million shares to cover over-allotments, if any.
