[Dow Jones] Soon-to-be-listed Maxis expected to price its IPO shares in MYR4.80-MYR5.50 range, person familiar with deal tells Dow Jones Newswires. Maxis looking to sell some 2.25 billion shares, or 30% stake IPO, would raise between MYR10.8 billion to MYR12.38 billion for 75%-stakeholder Ananda Krishnan and 25%-stakeholder Saudi Telekom (7010.SA).
