The company confirmed it is currently in discussions with Acer, the
Taiwanese PC manufacturer that Starbreeze partnered with for this VR
venture, about an Initial Public Offering - although no further details
have been released.

Unfortunately i am inherently lazy and dont like to click on external links. Also i cant watch the video due to having the sound off on my mobile. Can you  elaborate on what this is?

Of course mate.

The video shows the Starbreeze developed 'Mummy' VR arcade experience that uses the StarVR headset and some physical effects - created mainly for deployment in the IMAX VR venues, but the company states they have plans to drop a few in Japanese amusement VR facilities and a few in Europe.

The link is just a link to the IPO story, that Starbreeze is looking to encourage ACER to place the StarVR operation up for floating. Most people think they could get a strong value based on the successful KS that PIMAX achieved.
