[HONG KONG] Printed circuit board (PCB) equipment maker Shenzhen Han’s CNC Technology said on Wednesday (Feb 4) it was set to price its Hong Kong listing at the top end of its offer range, aiming to raise a total of HK$4.83 billion (S$786.2 million).
The firm was offering 50.5 million shares in the listing, with the offer price determined as HK$95.80 per share, the top end of its earlier marketed range.
Funds from the listing would be used to enhance the firm’s operational capabilities and as working capital, Han’s CNC had said earlier.
The deal lured in 10 cornerstone investors committing a combined US$309.8 million, including Singapore’s GIC, Schroders, and Victory Giant Technology.
According to its prospectus, the Shenzhen-headquartered firm was China’s largest specialised PCB production equipment manufacturer in terms of revenue in 2024, with a market share of 10.1 per cent in China.
Hong Kong’s new listings continue to gather momentum, with Han’s CNC’s debut coming alongside a string of other offerings.
