CPMC Holdings Limited (CPMC, 906HK), China’s largest metal packaging material producer, announced today that its international private placement and Hong Kong public offering was priced at HKD 5.39, the high end of its indicative price range. The Hong Kong public offering was some 290 times over-subscription, and the international private placement was also well over-subscribed.
CPMC issued 200,000,000 shares in total of which 90% was for the international private placement and the rest for the Hong Kong public offering. Considering the strong response in Hong Kong, CPMC applied the clawback mechanism, and the Hong Kong public offering was then increased to half of the available global total issued initially, i.e., 100,000,000 shares.
CPMC shares would be traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. on Monday, November 16, 2009 in board lots of 1,000 shares. Its stock code was 906.
Mr. Xue Guoping, CPMC’s President and Executive Director, also felt well encouraged from the strong response to CPMC’s global allotment. As the leader of China’s metal packaging material industry, as he said, CPMC would further solidify its leading position by expanding its market share and exploring new markets and business segments, especially the fast moving consumer goods packaging material industry, to be the leader of a portfolio of consumer goods packaging material industries in the best interest of shareholders.
CICC – Hong Kong Securities Limited and BOCI Asia Limited were the joint global coordinators, book-runners, lead managers and sponsors for CPMC’s global allotment. And CICC – Hong Kong Securities Limited was also the financial adviser.
