By Scott Murdoch
May 12 (Reuters) - China's Ant Group will sell a 4% stake in Indian payments firm Paytm PAYT.NS for $242 million, a term sheet seen by Reuters on Monday showed.
Ant, an affiliate of Chinese conglomerate Alibaba Group 9988.HK, will sell the stake at 809.75 rupees per share, a discount of 6.5% to Paytm's closing price on Monday.
It was not immediately clear who the buyers would be.
Goldman Sachs India Securities and Citigroup Global Markets India will lead the sale, the term sheet showed.
Paytm and Ant Group did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Paytm has seen a spate of selldowns in the past two years, including the exit of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway BRKa.N and Japan's SoftBank Group 9984.T, according to exchange data.
Ant previously sold a 10.3% stake in Paytm to founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma in August 2023.
