Forum (10 Apr 2017) | ||||
| Highlights |
On 20 January 2017, the Securities and Futures Commission and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited jointly issued guidelines and a strongly worded statement, criticising several placements in Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) with a high concentration of shareholdings among the top places prevented the development of an orderly, informed and efficient market for the trading of their securities. Subsequently, within a month or so, five companies’ listing applications have been delayed or were suspended to trade on GEM.
Stevenson, Wong & Co., in association with AllBright Law Offices, organises this forum to provide update on the requirements for listing and placing of GEM IPOs.
Topics outline: - Placing vs. public offer - Duties and roles of sponsors, lead managers, bookrunners, placing agents - Structure of the offering - Recent development and analysis of the placing arrangement of listed companies
