(Sharecast News) - RAC Group has reportedly begun sounding out investors for a potential initial public offering in London.
According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, the driving services firm has been holding early look meetings with fund managers in recent weeks, as it seeks to lay the groundwork for a possible market debut this year.
In February, sources told Bloomberg that a deal could value RAC, which is backed by private equity groups CVC Capital Partners and Silver Lake, at about 5bn.
Sources told Bloomberg on Tuesday that no final decisions have been made and details of the offering including timing could change.
The RAC provides breakdown assistance and motor insurance, among other things.
