The company reportedly filed a week ago, but so far has been able to shield details of the IPO through a newly enacted law called the JOBS Act. Citing unnamed sources, Reuters said the company plans to price this fall in what could be the largest IPO since Facebook. Workday has raised $250 million in funding since its founding in 2004 by former PeopleSoft executives Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusr. Top backers include Greylock Partners, New Enterprise Associates, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, T. Rowe Price, Janus Capital Group and Bezos Expeditions. http://www.workday.com/ http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/07/18/idINL2E8IHFC220120718 _____________________________________________ o San Francisco-Based FiberTower Files for Chapter 11 San Francisco -- FiberTower, a San Francisco-based provider of backhaul and access transport services focused on the wireless carrier market, said it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company, which listed $211 million in liabilities, said it plans to continue operating as usual through its reorganization, which would eliminate its long-term debt. The proposed plan would reorganize FiberTower around its restructured legacy backhaul network, as well as two other business lines -- spectrum services and carrier services. "FiberTower has taken these steps after evaluating various strategic and financial alternatives and determining that reorganizing under Chapter 11 is in the best long-term interests of the company, its customers, employees, creditors, business partners and other stakeholders," the company said. http://www.fibertower.com http://www.fibertower.com/corp/downloads/FTWR%20Press%20Release%20July%2017%202012.pdf (PDF) _____________________________________________ o Alviso-Based TiVo to Acquire TRA for $20 Million Alviso, Calif. -- TiVo, the Alviso-based developer of digital video recorders and programming services, said it will pay approximately $20 million to acquire New York-based TRA, developer of a platform designed to help advertisers by linking information about what viewers watch with what they buy.
