Yeti plans to sell 20 million shares of common stock in a range of $19 to $21 per share and raise gross proceeds of $400 million, according to the company's S-1 filing.

On Thursday, Yeti priced its 16 million share IPO at $18 per share. Shares opened at $16.74.

Based on the S-1, Yeti plans to use the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under the credit facility the company entered in 2016. The remainder of proceeds will be used for additional corporate purposes.

Yeti previously filed for the same initial public offering in 2016, but withdrew its filing earlier this year. The main bookrunners for the offering are Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Jefferies, Baird and Piper Jaffray.
