Blackstone Group IPO to be priced Thursday

(Reuters) - Blackstone, one of the world's largest private
equity investment firms, expects to sell 133.3 million common
units at $29 to $31 each for as much as $4.13 billion in

Blackstone also will let underwriters, led by Morgan

total offering to as much as $4.75 billion, making it the
largest U.S. IPO of the year and the sixth largest ever.
