China’s largest “bad bank” has allocated some 70 per cent of its initial public offering to a diverse band of cornerstone investors ranging from the state grid to the auspiciously named Fabulous Treasure Investments.
中国最大“坏账银行”中国华融资产管理公司(China Huarong Asset Management)已将其在香港首次公开发行(IPO)约70%的股份配给多家基石投资者——从国家电网(State Grid)到名字颇为吉利的巨宝投资(Fabulous Treasure Investments)。
However, the reliance on cornerstone investors, including state-backed entities, means only a small slice will be more widely offered — suggesting shaky investor sentiment that bodes ill for future new listings in Hong Kong.
然而，这种对包括国有实体在内的基石投资者的倚重意味着，只有一小部分股票将面向公众发行。这表明，投资者情绪仍然低落，预示着未来香港IPO市场前景不佳。
The $1.62bn secured by China Huarong Asset Management’s Hong Kong IPO represents 67.7 per cent of the total base offer size and could result in a new record. The 10 cornerstone investors receive their requested allocation in full in return for accepting a lock-up period, typically six months.
华融此次香港上市已落实16.2亿美元认购资金，占总发行量的67.7%，可能会创下新的记录。10家基石投资者获得了它们认购的全部股份，作为交换条件，它们将接受通常为6个月的禁售期。
Huarong, one of four asset managers set up in the 1990s to take on the bad loans of China’s biggest banks, is offering 5.8bn shares, or 15 per cent of the company’s shares post-IPO, at a range between HK$3.03 and HK$3.39.
华融是上世纪90年代中国为解决大银行坏账问题而组建的4家资产管理公司之一，此次上市将发行58亿股股票，占该公司上市后股本的15%，招股价格区间为每股3.03港元至每股3.39港元。
The offer size is up to $2.53bn, or $2.9bn if a greenshoe issuance of additional shares is exercises. Books open today and are expected to close October 22.
此次发行的规模最高可达25.3亿美元，如果承销商行使超额配售权（即“绿鞋”机制），最高可达29亿美元。新股预定今日开始，预计将在10月22日结束。
Depending on how it pans out, cornerstone investors will end up with between 63.8 per cent and 71.4 per cent of the allotment.
基石投资者最终将购得此次IPO股份的63.8%至71.4%，具体数字取决于此次IPO有多成功。
