Empost plans $272m IPO
UAE's state-owned Emirates Post (Empost) plans to raise about 1 billion dirhams ($272.3 million) selling shares to the public within two months, Chief Executive Abdalla al-Daboos said in remarks published on Thursday.
Empost, the sole provider of postal services in the UAE, expects to sell a 49% stake in an initial public offering and would offer about 5 to 8 percent of that to non-UAE nationals, al-Khaleej quoted Daboos said as saying.
The firm, which started cargo unit Empost Air last year, was in talks to spend up to 1.5 billion dirhams on Asian acquisitions and would start a banking joint venture with Noor Islamic Bank, Daboos said in January.
