Fintech firm SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US) is seeking to raise $1.5 billion through a stock offering to diversify beyond its lending business into other product areas. According to a Thursday statement, the company is working with Goldman Sachs Group on the share sale.

People familiar with the matter revealed that SoFi priced the shares between $27.50 and $28.50 apiece, representing a discount of up to 7.1% compared to Thursday's closing price of $29.60.

SoFi plans to use the proceeds to strengthen its capital position and pursue new business opportunities. Following the announcement, its stock fell 5.8% in after-hours trading to $27.89 per share. Year-to-date through Thursday's close, the shares had surged 92%.
