From Reuters:

"SpringerNature, the publisher of science magazine Nature, has brought
forward a listing which may value it at more than 7 billion euros
($8.6 billion) including debt, to reduce the risk from volatile stock
markets, people close to the matter said.

The company, which also publishes Scientific American, is planning to
announce its initial public offering (IPO) in May, with a Frankfurt
listing slated to take place four weeks later, they said, adding that
originally plans had been for a July listing.

The SpringerNature joint venture is 53-percent owned by German
publisher Holtzbrinck, with buyout group BC Partners holding the
rest."
