Maxis said to have hired co-bookrunners

SINGAPORE UBS, JPMorgan and Nomura have been hired as co-bookrunners for telecom firm Maxis Bhd’s planned initial public offering in Kuala Lumpur, sources with knowledge of the deal said today.

The three banks joined Goldman Sachs, CIMB and Credit Suisse, which were earlier appointed as joint bookrunners and global coordinators for the share offer that sources have said could raise over US$2 billion by mid-November.

Maxis plans to kickstart investor roadshows for the share sale by early next month and book building for institutional offering by November 9, sources have said.

Malaysia’s largest mobile network operator by market share said earlier this month it plans to offer 2.25 billion shares or 30 per cent of its existing share capital in the IPO.

Maxis was not immediately available to comment, while UBS, Nomura and JPMorgan declined to comment. -- Reuters
