(Reuters<\/a>) Latin American and Spanish call center operator Atento SA, owned by private equity firm Bain Capital Partners LLC, said it expected its initial public offering to be priced $19-$22 per share, valuing the company at up to US$1.60b. <\/p>\n

At the top end of the expected price range, the IPO is likely to raise about $321.8 million.<\/p>\n

Bain Capital bought Atento Group from Telefonica SA , Europe’s biggest telecom operator by revenue, in 2012 for about 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion), including debt.<\/p>\n

In the offering of about 14.6 million shares, Atento is selling 4.1 million shares and stockholder Atalaya PikCo SCA the rest.<\/p>\n

Bain Capital’s stake in Atento will drop to 75.3 percent from 98.2 percent if the underwriters fully exercise their option.<\/p>\n

Atento, which runs helpdesks, back offices and other service desks, has about 153,000 employees, with about half of them in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The company was formed in 1999 as a spinoff of Telefonica’s call center business in Spain, Peru and Chile.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported last week, citing sources, that Atento was likely to launch its offering as early as this week.<\/p>\n

Atento’s loss attributable to shareholders widened to $24.3 million in the six months ended June from $23.1 million, a year earlier. Revenue dropped about 1.2 percent to $1.15 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
