HONG KONG (Reuters) – Chinese artificial intelligence startup SenseTime Group is discussing the fate of its planned $767 million Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) with the city’s stock exchange on Friday, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The move comes after the Financial Times reported on Thursday that the United States will put the company on an investment blacklist on Friday.
The sources declined to be named as the information was not yet made public.
Spokespersons at SenseTime and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
