June 2 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's SpaceX is negotiating with banks underwriting its initial public offering to pay โfees of less than 0.75% on the roughly $75 โbillion it aims to raise this month, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.
The โbanks are still likely to rake in about $500 million from the record-setting listing of the space and AI conglomerate, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter.
Goldman Sachs, Morgan โStanley, BofA Securities, Citigroup โ and J.P. Morgan are the joint book-running managers for the offering, leading a syndicate of โ global investment banks underwriting the deal.
The lead banks, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, are positioned to take in a bigger โshare of โthe fee pool than the โother 21 brokers involved, โthe report added.
SpaceX and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Expected to be the largest stock market debut in history, SpaceX's listing would bring one of the world's most โvaluable private companies into public markets, โgiving investors direct access to โbusinesses spanning space launch โservices, satellite broadband and AI.
The company is โexpected to raise as much as $75 โbillion at โa valuation of about $1.75 trillion, Reuters has reported. SpaceX is expected to list its shares as early as โJune 12, with โa roadshow launch targeted for June 4.
