Facebook sets IPO range: source

(Reuters) - Facebook Inc plans to price its initial public offering at a high-$20s to mid-$30s per-share range in its initial public offering later this month, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The price range would value the world's No. 1 Internet social networking company between $85 billion and $95 billion, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news on Thursday.

Facebook, which plans to list its stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker "FB", will begin meeting with investors on Monday to promote what is expected to be the largest offering in Silicon Valley history.
