KUALA LUMPUR (Dow Jones)--Malaysian palm oil firm Felda Global
Ventures Holdings Bhd.,
which is aiming to raise about $3 billion from an
initial public offering in the country,
is courting global commodities trading
house Louis Dreyfus as a potential cornerstone investor,
according to a person
familiar with the situation.
FGVH, the commercial and marketing arm of
Malaysia's Federal Land Development Authority,
has also met with other global
trading companies for potential investment,
the person said, declining to
identify the possible investors.
The IPO, if successful, would rank as
the world's second-largest offering
this year after Facebook Inc., according to
data provider Dealogic.
The offering would also be the third-largest IPO
in Malaysia
after state-oil firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd.'s unit Petronas
Chemicals Group Bhd.
raised $4.14 billion in late 2010,
and telecom operator
Maxis Bhd. raised around $3.5 billion in a 2009 offering.
FGVH may
announce the outcome of its talks
with potential cornerstone investors in the
next one to two weeks, the person said.
Louis Dreyfus wasn't immediately
available for comment.
