Does the chart take liquidity preference into account?

Price clears liq pref, so yup - update tomorrow with new pricing
I guess the number would be different unless you have the details, e.g. their termsheets :)
Yes, but not substantially. They raised a little under $300 million. Even if all of the money raised had a (high) 2x liquidity preference, that still leaves $3.1B to be distributed among the stock holders.
It depends on termsheet, but in most cases liquidation preference only hits when final price is low. Otherwise investors will pick the percentage.
In fact in this case late stage investors had a contractual right to buy shares at IPO signaling strength of company. Don't feel took naff for they investors though :)
