HSBC Is Said to Work on Possible IPO of Saudi Arabian Cargo Firm - Bloomberg

Saudi Arabian Logistics Co., spun off after more than seven decades as the cargo arm of the kingdom’s flagship airline, is working with HSBC Holdings Plc’s local unit on a potential share sale that could come as soon as this year, according to people familiar with the matter.

No final decision has been made on the timing or size of an initial public offering but the listing would only be open to local and qualified investors, the people said, declining to be named as the discussions are private.

The Saudi unit of HSBC was hired late last year as a financial adviser to help SAL, as the company is known, explore its strategic options to raise funds, the people said. HSBC and SAL declined to comment.
