HONG KONG (Reuters) - Standard Chartered (STAN.L) plans to sell up to $215 million worth of shares in state-owned China Cinda Asset Management Co Ltd (1359.HK), according to a term sheet of the deal seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

Standard Chartered, through its Standard Chartered Financial Holding unit, is offering 360 million shares of China Cinda in an indicative range of HK$4.55 to HK$4.63 each, putting the total deal at up to HK$1.67 billion (£136 million), the terms showed.

Shareholders including UBS (UBSG.VX) and CITIC Capital have also sold parts of their stakes in China Cinda earlier this year as the shares gained.Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs were hired as joint bookrunners of the selldown, Thomson Reuters publication IFR reported.
