It feels strange to call it in "Initial Public Offering" when the company used to be public ten years ago.

It's a sequel
Should it be an APO? Additional Public Offering?
SPO: Subsequent Public Offering
It's just an IPO. The history doesn't matter.
IPO stands for "Infusion of Public Overspending". It's an exit strategy for private equity and VC, so more of an ending than anything "initial".
