A handout image made available by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City on 07 November 2013 showing British actor Sir Patrick Stewart (R), flanked by Vivienne Harr (2-L), Boston police officer Cheryl Fiandaca (L) and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams (2-R) at the ringing of the opening bell to mark Twitter's highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), New York during the ringing of the opening bell to mark Twitter's highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), New York, USA. Twitter was to offer shares to the public at an initial price of 26 dollars a share, the short-message internet giant had confirmed 06 November. 'We've priced our initial public offering of 70,000,000 shares ... to the public at 26 dollars a share,' the company said, adding that it could offer an additional 10.5 million shares if demand was strong. The IPO values Twitter at about 14 billion US dollars, far below that of Facebook, which was valued as high as 80 billion dollars at the time of its IPO. Twitter, however, has fewer users and its format makes it harder to advertise on, limiting its chances to immediately generate substantial revenue. Vivienne Harr operates a lemonade stand, and uses the money she earns to fight slavery. EPA/NYSE / HANDOUT ( HO )
