HONG KONG, Oct 29 (Reuters) – Malaysian hospital operator Asia OneHealthcare has filed a draft prospectus for an initial public offering of up to 4.38 billion shares and a planned listing on Bursa Malaysia, the Securities Commission Malaysia’s website showed on Wednesday.
• Reuters reported in April that US-based private equity firm TPG had hired Maybank and UBS to explore options for Asia OneHealthcare, including a domestic listing that could value the company at about 30 billion ringgit ($7.4 billion)
• The draft prospectus did not disclose the offer price, deal size or a listing date
