Lifan, which makes motorcycles and cars, has issued 200 million shares at 14.5 yuan per share, it said in a stock exchange filing.

Proceeds will help bankroll several projects, including a passenger car facility with annual production capacity of 150,000 units, it said previously.

AIG owns a 13.5 percent stake in Lifan through a unit called Join State Ltd.

皇冠体育app, which eclipsed the United States as the world's biggest auto market last year, has been a bright spot amid a global industry that is still recovering from a steep downturn.

Other Chinese automakers, such as FAW Group and Chery Automobile, also plan to go public to help raise funds for production expansion.
