HONG KONG: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has filed confidentially for a Hong Kong listing, people familiar with the matter said, moving closer to what is potentially the city’s biggest share sale since 2010.
The online emporium filed a stock listing application with the exchange this week without the need for financial disclosures, the people said, requesting not to be named because the matter is private. It is said to have picked China International Capital Corp and Credit Suisse Group AG as lead banks. The offering from China’s largest corporation could raise as much as US$20bil, though Alibaba hasn’t finalised its fund-raising target, the people said.
