United launches share sale on NYSE

31 July 2012-AP

Manchester United has launched its New York Stock Exchange listing, with shares expected to start between $15 and $19.

The launch occurred on Monday, and the record 19-time English Premier League champion said about 16.7 million shares will be offered.

United is looking to raise funds to help reduce debt from the Glazer family's 2005 takeover, rated at $640 million as of March 31 this year.

The Glazers will retain control of the club through its ownership of Class B shares, which will have 10 times the voting power of the stock sold to the public.

The club was listed on the London Stock Exchange from 1991 until the Glazers completed a leveraged buy-out valued at $1.40 billion in June 2005.

The Glazers also own the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
