TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese messaging app firm Line Corp priced its initial public offering at the top of its, putting it on track to raise as much as $1.3 billion and reflecting robust appetite for the world’s biggest tech listing this year.

Line set the IPO price at 3,300 yen per share, compared with its book-building range of 2,900-3,300 yen, a filing with Japan’s finance ministry showed on Monday.
根据周一Line向日本财务省提交的文件显示,此前基于市场形势,Line将股价定为每股2900—3300日元,之后该公司将其IPO发行价调高到区间上限,达到每股3300日元。

作为韩国门户网站Naver旗下的移动聊天软件开发商,Line将于本周分别在纽约和东京两地上市,计划借助上市融资的同时提升企业形象,打开在日本和东南亚以外的市场。
This is seen as an event by many domestic retail investors. I think the price will rise in the short term, said Mitsushige Akino, executive officer at Ichiyoshi Asset Management.
