Tencent-backed Chinese insurtech Waterdrop is reportedly eyeing up to $360m in a stock market flotation in New York.

In the IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, the company will sell 30 million American Depository shares priced from $10-$12 apiece, reported Reuters citing filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Besides, a greenshoe option will enable the sale of an additional 4.5 million shares, further stated the report.

Cornerstone investors have reportedly subscribed for $210m stock with one of the company’s current major shareholders Boyu Capital, already raking in $100m.

Earlier, Reuters said that the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) questioned the business risks of the firm, without giving specifics about the risks, and recommended Shen Peng against the IPO.

The risks had reportedly slowed the process of going public.

However, Waterdrop denied the report and said that its senior managers were in regular communication with authorities.
