The San Francisco-based company told the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission in a preliminary prospectus that J.P. Morgan Securities Inc, Lehman Brothers Inc and Pacific Crest Securities Inc were underwriting the IPO.

The filing did not reveal how many shares the company planned to sell or their expected price. The company intends to list its common stock on the Nasdaq under the symbol "CRTM," and plans to use the proceeds in part to repay debt. (Reporting by Varsha Tickoo in Bangalore)
