FRANKFURT/DUESSELDORF, Jan 13 (Reuters) – Thyssenkrupp’s(TKAG.DE)electrolysis business is aiming for proceeds of up to 600 million euros ($687 million) by selling new shares in a possible initial public offering this year, betting on the booming hydrogen sector it supplies with equipment.
Thyssenkrupp plans to keep a majority in the business – which is being rebranded as Thyssenkrupp Nucera – following any IPO and aims to maintain the current shareholding ratio with its Italian co-owner De Nora (IPO-DENR.MI), said Volkmar Dinstuhl, who leads the conglomerate’s Multi Tracks division.
This implies a free-float of up to 25%.

The 500 million-600 million in potential proceeds would correspond to a stake sale of roughly 10-20% based on a valuation range of 3 billion to 6 billion euros that analysts have put on the division, which could be listed in the spring.
