MOSCOW, April 8 (Reuters) - Russian forestry group Segezha is set to announce plans for an initial public offering (IPO) in Moscow next week, three financial market sources told Reuters on Thursday.
Russian firms have lined up for equity raising this year, with a $2 billion London IPO by low-price retailer Fix Price in March. The domestic market has been hit by new U.S. sanctions talk, however, prompting gold miner GV Gold to postpone its IPO.
Segezha, controlled by conglomerate Sistema, aims to raise $400-$500 million, sources have told Reuters, and potential investors are receiving invitations to join pre-marketing.
