DUBAI- Logistics firm Tristar set the price range for its initial public offering on Sunday, implying a market capitalisation of 2.64 billion to 3.24 billion dirhams ($718.80 million-$882.16 million).

Proceeds from its primary offering will be approximately 438 million dirhams to 537 million dirhams, Tristar said in a statement.

It expects to raise another 90 to 240 million dirhams from a secondary offering, which will come from selling shares held by existing shareholders, the company said.
