The investment arm of Samba Financial Group has been hired as an adviser on the deal, the people said, asking not to be identified for information privacy.
No decision has been made and the company may decide against the dual listing, they said.
A spokesperson at Batelco declined to comment, while Samba Capital didn鈥檛 respond to messages seeking comment, Bloomberg said.
