Russian credit card supplier Tinkoff Credit Systems is aiming to raise $750 million through an initial public offering, a source close to the placement said Wednesday.
Four financial market sources had earlier said the placement was expected Thursday, though they did not provide further details.
TCS, founded and run by entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov, has been looking for outside funding to help to finance the company's growth plans.
A source close to the matter said in June that the credit card supplier had selected Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan , Morgan Stanley, Sberbank CIB and Renaissance Capital as organizers.
TCS was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
