CEO, investor sell $9.4M in LogMeIn stock

By Galen Moore

LogMeIn Inc. CEO Michael Simon and venture capital investor Prism VentureWorks have unloaded stock in the company worth a total of $9.4 million, according to documents the Woburn maker of remote access software filed with federal regulators.

Prism sold 250,000 shares, LogMeIn (Nasdaq: LOGM) reported this week. At $35.40 a share, the shares were worth $8.85 million in total. Earlier this month, the company reported Simon sold 15,000 shares at a share price of $36. That sale grossed $540,000.
 
Founded in 2003, LogMeIn raised about $30 million from venture capital firms including Polaris Venture Partners, Prism, 3TS Capital Partners and Integral Capital Partners, as well as a strategic investment from Intel Capital – before going public in 2009 in a drought-breaking, $107 million IPO that set the company’s initial market cap at about $342 million, with shares trading initially at $16. Massachusetts firms Prism and Polaris were the lead pre-IPO backers, with 23.8 percent and 20.1 percent ownership, respectively.

The company added another $60 million in a follow-on stock sale last January. As of mid-day Friday, shares traded at around $36, off a December peak near $47. After a run on enthusiasm over the company’s software for Apple’s iPad device, LogMeIn shares fell in the first quarter amid concerns over the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector as a whole.

Prism general partner Woody Benson and LogMeIn spokesman Craig VerColen declined to comment.
