Blue Apron Holdings Inc. reduced the price range for its initial public offering by about a third to $10 to $11 a share as it works to convince investors to buy in to the meal-kit subscription service.

At the midpoint, that’s a 34 percent cut from the previously marketed stock price range of $15 to $17 a piece. The New York-based company will still sell 30 million shares, it said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
