Frankfurt am Main, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Feb, 2018 ) :Industrial giant Siemens on Monday said it plans to list its Healthineers medical unit in the first half of 2018, in what is expected to be Germany's largest initial public offering in over two decades.
The group said it would float "a meaningful minority share" in the medical equipment division on the Frankfurt stock exchange to "create a liquid market for the Siemens Healthineers shares". The IPO "is expected to be completed in the first half of Calendar year 2018, subject to capital market conditions," it said in a statement.
German media have speculated that Siemens will sell off a 15-to-25 percent stake in Healthineers. They have described the flotation, expected to raise some nine billion Euros ($11.2 billion), as the country's largest since Deutsche Telekom's roughly 10-billion-euro IPO in 1996.
Siemens gave no such details in its statement, saying only that it will "retain a majority stake in Siemens Healthineers in the long term".
