Samsung Bioepis hired Citigroup and Goldman Sachs as the lead managers for the Nasdaq listing, the person told Reuters, with Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley also taking part in the deal.

The person declined to elaborate further, including how much Samsung Bioepis might raise through the listing. Bioepis has said it plans to complete the IPO process by end-June 2016.
