Didi Global is in talks to launch its initial public offering (IPO)in Hong Kong in the second quarter, as China's dominant ride-hailing company prepares to exit the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Didi's bankers have had preliminary discussions with the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited(HKEX) before submitting the A1 form to officially apply to list on the exchange, according to the sources, requesting anonymity for discussing a matter before its announcement.
Depending on market conditions, the Beijing-based company may list in Hong Kong in the second quarter, the sources said, adding that the financial terms of the proposed listing are still being worked on. HKEX's spokesman declined to comment on individual cases.
