![Mark Pincus][2]Interesting in buying up a chunk of [Zynga][3], eh? Well, the [FarmVille][4] maker just may name its price very shortly, as [Fortune reports][5] that the company will begin to pony around to investors next Monday. And with that, Zynga will likely make another amendment to its S-1 filing with the Security and Exchanges Commission (SEC) that would reveal its asking price for public shares along with how many shares will be made available.
Zynga filed for its [initial public offering][6] (IPO) way back in June of this year, and it finally looks like it's time to pull back the curtain and start taking offers. According to Fortune, company CEO Mark Pincus will join COO John Schappert (of [EA][7] fame) and CFO David Wehner in the dog and pony show to get investors excited about diving into Zynga, or ZNGA as it will appear on the Nasdaq.
The creator of top social games like [CityVille][8] seeks to raise $1 billion as a result of its IPO. Some expect a valuation, or projected worth of a company based on several factors, between $15 and $20 billion. That would make Zynga not only the most valuable social games company in the world, but the most valuable game company. Period. Well, that is if investors [can look past][9] Zynga [employees driven to tears][10] under company pressure.
