German sandal maker and in-again fashion icon Birkenstock has filed for an initial public offering, according to a filing late Tuesday.
The filing doesn’t list the number of shares the maker intends to sell or a price range yet. Filing fees were also left blank. The company plans to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BIRK.
According to reports in July, private-equity firm L Catterton, backed by LVMH MC, -0.39%, was mulling over its options for Birkenstock, including an initial public offering that would value the sandal maker at more than $6 billion. Here’s the Marketwatch article.
