In a brief statement issued today (23 February), Havre Global said the number of ADRs to be put up for offer and the price range for the shares “have not yet been determined”.
The company added: “The initial public offering is expected to take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.”
Last autumn, reports emerged Oatly’s owners were looking at a possible listing. More reports followed in January, with Oatly declining to comment on a CNBC story the company was lining up an IPO and was hoping to raise US$1bn.
An undisclosed minority stake in the business was sold last summer to a group of investors that included US private-equity firm Blackstone Group and celebrity Oprah Winfrey for $200m.
