Never Fact without a reputable primary. | ## Executive read ### BLUF November’s consumer kinematic file is a market-structure control path, not an injury path. iRobot prices 4,300,000 shares at $24 on 9 November and lists on NASDAQ as **IRBT** — the first mass consumer robot-vac company on a public tape. Official IDs sit on File No. **333-126907** and the 9 November 424(b) / S-8 path. No official recall. No CPSC Roomba page. ### Key judgments 1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 9 November iRobot newsroom, the S-8 that incorporates “the Registrant’s Prospectus as filed on November 9, 2005 pursuant to Rule 424(b),” and the 10 November East Bay Times debut note independently date the priced IPO: 4,300,000 shares at $24; 3,260,870 company / 1,039,130 selling stockholders; 645,000 underwriter option; NASDAQ **IRBT**. 2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** This is not a recall, not a shipping-injury file, and not a CPSC / RAPEX / Health Canada page. It is filed as a control-path / market-structure signal: continuous disclosure now sits over the already-sold Roomba class. 3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No November CPSC Roomba, Scooba, robotic-mower, or companion-robot numbered page was located. Robosapien restocks, and Robosapien V2 shelf talk, are not signals. ### Analytic labels - **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record - **Assessment** — analytic judgment - **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed - **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap ### Source grades - **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed - **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated - **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums) --- ## 01. iRobot IPO — IRBT $24 / 9 November (control-path market structure, not a safety file) *Event / publication dates: 1 November 2005 (Form 8-A); 9 November 2005 (iRobot newsroom; Rule 424(b) prospectus; Form S-8 Acc. 0000950135-05-006317); 10 November 2005 (East Bay Times debut)* **Product class.** Robot vacuums / mop combos · (issuer market structure) **Verified record — [Fact — A1 / B1]** On 9 November 2005 iRobot Corp. announced its initial public offering of **4,300,000** shares of common stock, **3,260,870** sold by iRobot and **1,039,130** by selling stockholders, at **$24** per share. Selling stockholders granted underwriters the right to purchase up to an additional **645,000** shares at that price. Shares “will be listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol ‘IRBT.’” Joint book-runners: Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

Official wording: “A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and become effective.” [iRobot newsroom, 9 November 2005](https://investor.irobot.com/news-releases/news-release-details/irobot-corp-initial-public-offering-priced-24-share); [Goodwin reprint of the same 9 November release](https://www.goodwinlaw.com/en/news-and-events/news/2005/11/irobot-corp-initial-public-offering-priced-at-24-per-share). SEC path, as opened: Registration statement on Form S-1, **File No. 333-126907** (S-1 dated 27 July; S-1/A still open through October). Form **8-A** filed **1 November 2005** (Exchange Act §12(g); NASDAQ listing description). Form **S-8** filed **9 November 2005**, **File No. 333-129576**, **Accession 0000950135-05-006317**, effectiveness date 9 November 2005; Item 3(a) incorporates “The Registrant’s Prospectus as filed on November 9, 2005 pursuant to Rule 424(b).” CIK **0001159167**. S-8 fee table uses “an assumed price of $24.00 per share, which on November 8, 2005 was determined to be the initial public offering price.” [S-8](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013505006317/b57766icsv8.htm); [EDGAR index](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013505006317/0000950135-05-006317-index.htm). East Bay Times (10 November, Boston dateline) independently dated Wednesday’s trading debut: 4.3 million shares at $24; high $34.16; close $26.70, up $2.70; underwriter option 645,000; about 1 million insider / selling-stockholder shares; 18 percent of 23.3 million shares outstanding; market value $621.8 million at the close. Copy names Roomba as more than half of revenue and notes Scooba “rolling out” as a mop. [East Bay Times, 10 November 2005](https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2005/11/10/trading-debut-computes-for-irobot/). No CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX page. No injury or incident count is stated. July’s S-1 and September–October S-1/A pages are the registration path that this 9 November priced event closes. **Threat landscape.** Not a physical-harm file. The control change is issuer-level: the first mass consumer robot-vac company is now a 1934-Act reporter. Roomba already in homes (1.2 million in the may company copy) sits under continuous disclosure, risk-factor language, and a public tape. Military PackBot revenue is in the same issuer and is out of consumer kinematic scope except as mix. **Forum / community notes.** - none found. **Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] The 9 November price, share counts, IRBT symbol, File No. 333-126907, 8-A date, 424(b) prospectus date, and S-8 accession are as the opened newsroom and EDGAR pages write them. [Assessment — High confidence] First-day $26.70 / $34.16 prints are as the 10 November named newsroom writes them; they are tape color, not a safety numerator. [Inference — Moderate confidence] A public 1934-Act reporting duty over an already-sold home robot class is the 2005 control-path event (continuity of the Roomba franchise), not a laceration or fire path. [Uncertainty] How much of the $24 proceeds actually funds consumer SKUs versus government mix is a use-of-proceeds line, not a household count. **Opportunity.** The first 10-Q / 10-K as a public company, a dated Scooba ship notice, and any CPSC / RAPEX / Health Canada Roomba or Scooba file (none found). **LRRK relevance.** Control Fabric and Passport: first mass consumer robot-vac issuer on a public tape. Watch: any official Roomba / Scooba safety page (none this window). Not a recall file. **Confidence.** High on the 9 November price, share math, IRBT listing, and the cited SEC file numbers. High on the 10 November debut prints as reported. Low on unpublished household residual risk; this filing does not invent a Roomba CPSC. --- ## Forward indicators 1. Any official iRobot Roomba or Scooba recall (none found through this cutoff). 2. A dated Scooba ship / in-stock notice that is not only holiday-future or order-queue language. 3. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action. 4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file. 5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case. > **Collection integrity.** One signal graduated (9 November priced IPO / 424(b) / S-8 + 10 November debut). Filed as a control-path market-structure item, **not** as a safety file. **Excluded:** July S-1 and September–October S-1/A (registration path; already held; not re-numbered as the event); Form 8-A 1 November (listing mechanics; folded into this signal, not a second number); Ars Technica 7 November Scooba order-queue / 8–10-week delivery (not a company ship primary; May launch already filed); Tech Digest November “apparently just gone on sale” UK note (color); WowWee Robosapien restocks and Robosapien V2 shelf talk (not signals). No CPSC Roomba or Scooba page. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly report. No named robotic-mower fatality. Forum empty. *LRRK — security assurance for systems that sense, move, and act.*
