Davis Polk & Wardwell and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, alongside Big Four Japanese firms Anderson Mori & Tomotsune and Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu, are advising Tokyo Metro in preparation for its initial public offering in Japan, which aims to raise $2.24 billion. The IPO is scheduled for October 23 on the prime market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The transaction is poised to be the largest public float in Japan since SoftBank’s $21 billion share sale in 2018, surpassing KKR-owned Kokusai Electric’s $750 million listing last year.
