Shares in the car-booking technology company are being priced at about $49 a share, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. Bank of America's Merrill Lynch is restricting its sales to clients with a net worth of more than $100 million and is asking for a minimum purchase of $1 million, the person said.
