ClearWire Corp., a Kirkland, Wash.-based WiMAX company, priced 24 million common shares at $25 per share ($23-$25 range), for an IPO take of approximately $600 million. It had originally filed to raise just $400 million, before increasing its target to $500 million in an amended filing.

Seven other banks also participated. ClearWire has raised around $1.2 billion in private equity funding, including a $900 million infusion last year led by Intel Capital. Other significant shareholders include Bell Canada, Motorola and company founder Craig McCaw.
