FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German rail operator Deutsche Bahn has selected Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank to run a sale of its logistics arm Schenker which could reach up to 20 billion euros ($21.1 billion), sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Final details are still being ironed out and the mandates have not yet been signed off officially, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
There will be a meeting in Berlin between Deutsche Bahn and the banks at the end of this week, one of the sources said.
A spokesperson for Deutsche Bank confirmed the German lender has been given an advisory role without giving further details.
Deutsche Bahn, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley declined to comment.
