The Osaka-based electronics firm hopes to start preparations this year for the laptop unit’s initial public offering, and there are no changes to the original plan to list the unit in the next financial year, a Sharp spokesman said.

The Nikkei Asian Review had quoted Sharp Chairman and Chief Executive Tai Jeng-wu as saying on Thursday he hoped the Dynabook unit could list by the end of 2020.
