NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Travelers Property Casualty Corp., the insurance unit of Citigroup Inc., revealed Monday the terms of its initial public offering, which could raise as much as $4 billion.
Travelers plans to sell 210 million shares at $16 to $19 each via Salomon Smith Barney, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Citigroup (C: up $1.81 to $47.61, Research, Estimates) unit will trade under the New York Stock Exchange symbol Tap.A.
Underwriters on the deal have a green shoe to buy an additional 21 million shares of Class A stock.
Hartford, Conn.-based Travelers, a leading property and casualty insurer in the United States and the third largest underwriter of commercial lines, initially filed the offering on Feb. 8.
Travelers posted $1.1 billion in income on $12.2 billion in revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, compared with $1.3 billion in income on $11.1 billion in revenue for the preceding year.
Citigroup, which is selling a 20 percent stake in Travelers, will own all of the unit's Class B shares. The diversified holding company also plans to distribute all of its ownership interest in Travelers to shareholders by the end of 2002, the company said in an SEC filing.
