Hong Kong Exchange Revised Shareholders IPO Subscription Rules to Allow Existing Shareholders & New Cornerstone Investors to Subscribe Additional Shares under Exemption Conditions: Minimum IPO Value of $128 Million & All Allocation Including to Close Associates Does Not Exceed 30% of Total Securities Offered

22nd November 2023 | Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) has revised the shareholders IPO subscription (Initial Public Offering) rules to allow existing shareholders and new cornerstone investors to subscribe to additional shares under exemption conditions with immediate effect: 1) Minimum IPO value of $128 million / HKD 1 billion, 2) All allocation including to close associates does not exceed 30% of total securities offered and 3) Each director, chief executive, controlling shareholder and, for PRC issuers, supervisor, of the listing applicant have confirmed that the listing applicant’s offer securities are not allocated to them or their close associates under the exemption.  HKEX: “The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), today (Tuesday) published a revised Guidance Letter HKEX-GL85-16 (Guidance) allowing the existing shareholders (including pre-IPO investors) and cornerstone investors of a new applicant to subscribe for or purchase further securities in an IPO3 (i.e. to double dip) under certain specified conditions (see Size Exemption Conditions below).  The objective of the new exemption is to provide more flexibility to independent investors. Greater IPO participation by independent investors of a listing applicant should help ensure that the IPO price discovery process is robust and results in a final offer price that reflects market opinion.  The revised Guidance will take effect immediately and is available on the HKEX website. A marked-up version showing changes against the last published version of the Guidance is also available on the HKEX website.”  “Double dipping” refers to a subscription for, or purchase of further securities by, an existing shareholder or a cornerstone investor of a listing applicant in its IPO.  More info below:

Hong Kong Exchange Revised Shareholders IPO Subscription Rules to Allow Existing Shareholders & New Cornerstone Investors to Subscribe Additional Shares under Exemption Conditions

Hong Kong Exchange

21st November 2023 – The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), today (Tuesday) published a revised Guidance Letter HKEX-GL85-16 (Guidance) allowing the existing shareholders (including pre-IPO investors) and cornerstone investors2 of a new applicant to subscribe for or purchase further securities in an IPO3 (i.e. to double dip) under certain specified conditions (see Size Exemption Conditions below).  The objective of the new exemption is to provide more flexibility to independent investors. Greater IPO participation by independent investors of a listing applicant should help ensure that the IPO price discovery process is robust and results in a final offer price that reflects market opinion.  With immediate effect, “double dipping” will be permitted if it can be demonstrated that an IPO meets the new Size Exemption Conditions, namely that:

  • the offer has a total value of at least $1 billion;
  • the allocation to all existing shareholders and their close associates (whether as cornerstone investors and/or as placees) as permitted under the exemption does not exceed 30 per cent of the total number of securities offered;4 and
  • each director, chief executive, controlling shareholder and, for PRC issuers5, supervisor, of the listing applicant have confirmed that the listing applicant’s offer securities are not allocated to them or their close associates under the exemption.

The revised Guidance will take effect immediately and is available on the HKEX website. A marked-up version showing changes against the last published version of the Guidance is also available on the HKEX website.

 

Notes:

  1. “Double dipping” refers to a subscription for, or purchase of further securities by, an existing shareholder or a cornerstone investor of a listing applicant in its IPO.
  2. A “cornerstone investor” generally refers to an investor who is allocated IPO shares under the placing tranche on an assured basis and who usually agrees to restrictions on share disposal.
  3. Under this exemption, an existing shareholder of a listing applicant and/or its close associate may also be a placee or a cornerstone investor in an IPO whereas a cornerstone investor of the listing applicant may subscribe for or purchase further securities as a placee in the IPO.
  4. Each allocation made in excess of the 30 per cent cap will be subject to the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules and the Exchange’s guidance as amended from time to time (including any applicable conditions and alternative exemptions).
  5. Issuers which are duly incorporated in Mainland China as joint stock limited companies.
