Zynga plans to raise around $850 million to $1.15 billion at a $5.9 billion to $6.99 billion valuation in an initial public offering that will be priced on Dec. 15 and begin trading the next day. Counting options, the value would be $7.6 billion to $8.9 billion.

Finally setting its long-awaited initial public offering in motion, social game maker Zynga has named a price range for its offering and unveiled its investor roadshow pitch for why company executives think it is a good investment. Zynga originally filed to go public in July 1.
Update: Zynga has 200 million or so options issued as well, which means that the fully diluted valuation is higher, at $7.6 billion to $8.9 billion.
