Google Inc., the world's No. 1 Web search provider, filed with US regulators today to become a publicly listed company and sell as much as $2.7 billion in stock in a widely expected initial public
offering.
Mountain View, California-based Google said it would seek to list on either the Nasdaq market or the New York Stock Exchange.
Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse First Boston were listed as lead underwriters for the offering, which experts have said could be valued at $20 billion, or more, once further details of the deal are set.
