GF Securities Co.,
the fourth biggest Chinese brokerage by assets, has raised US$3.6 billion in an
initial public offering in Hong Kong after pricing shares at the high end of
the range, people familiar with the situation said Tuesday.
GF Securities becomes
the largest IPO in the Asia Pacific region this year, or the second-largest new
listing globally in 2015 after the US$4.8 billion IPO of Spain’s airport
operator Aena SA in Madrid in February. The deal will make Hong Kong the top
global-listing destination so far this year, up from the seventh spot,
according to Dealogic. This time last year, Hong Kong was in third place.
GF Securities, which
will list in Hong Kong April 10, sold 1.48 billion new shares at 18.85 Hong
Kong dollars (US$2.43) each, at the high end of the price range of
HK$15.65-18.85, said the people.
Goldman Sachs Group
Inc. and GF Capital (Hong Kong) Ltd. are the lead banks for the offering.
