Proposed   - Initial Public Offering (IPO) connect between Shanghai and Hong Kong markets may well attract more international firms to list in Hong Kong.

Challenges in dealing with the regulatory differences on both sides of the border, could be given the go ahead. The new connect scheme, one of many proposed cross-border plans unveiled by Hong Kong Exchanges.

Subscribing to Hong Kong initial public offerings (IPO), Hong Kong and international investors would be able to subscribe to initial public offerings in Shanghai.

A major benefit of such scheme, Hong Kong would become attractive to many international firms.

Pool of investors in Hong Kong is too small to attract big international brands. However, having IPO connect to allow mainland investors to subscribe to new listings in Hong Kong, many big international firms would consider listing here to capture mainland investors.

&ldquo Suchplan, if it can go ahead, will have a significant impact to the Hong Kong stock market for the long term.&rdquo

Louis Tse Ming-kwong, director of VC Brokerage, said the proposed IPO connect may bring more international firms to Hong Kong, but it would also mean the ending of H-share listings.

&ldquo The reason we have A-share listings in Shanghai and Shenzhen and H-share listings in Hong Kong is due to the capital controls in China, which is why mainland companies have to list in both markets to cater for the different pools of international and mainland investors,&rdquo

Number of Singapore companies exploring HK IPO 'doubled'

A growing number of companies in Singapore are hoping to deepen their business presence in the Greater China market by listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Competition between the SGX n stock exchange of Hong Kong for listings looks set to intensify as more companies here mull over moves to head to the Republic's rival to raise capital.

Market watchers said this reveals that a growing number of companies are hoping to deepen their business presence in the Greater China market, then tsuch moves, as Osim prepares its IPO in Hong Kong as V3 Group.

News emerged earlier this month that Pan-United Corp is spinning off its Chinese port division for a Hong Kong listing, while LHN said it is eyeing a dual primary listing there.

Both SGX-listed, Pan-United is Singapore's largest ready-mixed concrete and cement supplier, and LHN is a real estate mgt firm.

The number of Singapore companies exploring a Hong Kong IPO has "doubled", according to PwC.

"Looking at our pipeline, I would say, over the past 12 months, the number of Singapore companies considering a Hong Kong IPO has doubled to over a dozen," PwC capital market services leader Tham Tuck Seng said.

"They are a mixture of SGX-listed firms and private companies mainly in the manufacturing and trading sectors.

"They are choosing Hong Kong as they are setting up factories there n/or trying to penetrate China mkt.

"So Hong Kong makes more natural sense being there gives them better brand visibility n consumer trust in their prime target mkt."

An eg - Osim, was delisted from SGX last year, operates some 172 stores in mainland China and 35 in Hong Kong, compared with just 26 here.

Coy head Ron Sim is oso said to be unhappy about the valuation levels on SGX.

In the 1st qtr of this year, Hong Kong stock exchange mainboard had 21 newly-listed companies and HK$13.4 billion (S$2.4 billion) in equity funds raised.

The SGX mainboard had only one - Dasin Retail Trust's $121 million IPO.

"I do see a rising trend of mergers and acquisitions, (M&A), inevitable to be near where their prime target does, that mean, their's preference for Hong Kong.

Fact - Hong Kong reported 126 IPOs last year, amount estimated HK$195.3 billion were raised. While SGX, raised 16 IPOs, or some $1.8 billion last year.

https://www.fool.sg/2017/06/28/singapore-telecommunications-limiteds-netlink-trust-is-poised-to-be-singapores-biggest-ipo-in-2017/

Singapore Telecommunications Limited?s(SGX: Z74) associate, NetLink Trust, has filed its preliminary prospectus to list on the SGX Exchange.

The initial public offering (IPO) promises to be the biggest one for Singapore?s stock market in 2017.

Singtel?s stake in NetLink Trust can be considered to be unconventional. NetLink Trust is a business trust that was established under IMDA?s (Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore) effective open access requirements for Singapore?s NextGen NBN (Nationwide Broadband Network) initiative.

NetLink Trust is 100% owned by Singtel, the trust is accounted as an associate as Singtel does not control it. In fact, Singtel has a mandate to divest its NetLink Trust stake by 28 April 2018.

?Singtel has given an undertaking to IMDA to divest its stake in NetLink Trust to less than 25% ownership by 22 April 2018, and has since commenced preparation for an IPO-ing off NetLink Trust.?

According to a recent news. NetLink Trust?s portfolio includes around 76,000 km of fibre optic cable, 16,200 km of ducts, and 62,000 manholes. Its infrastructure is rented out to broadband operators in Singapore such as StarHub Ltd (SGX: CC3), M1 Ltd (SGX: B2F), Singtel, and MyRepublic.

Singtel?s FY2016 annual report highlighted the importance of this network:

?This nationwide fibre network which now passes all homes in Singapore forms the backbone of the Singapore government?s Smart Nation initiative.?

In short, the fiber network is valuable and it is time for Singtel to cash in. Cashing In Singtel?s FY2017, Netlink Trust generated $130 million in post-tax profits, up 12.2% from FY2016?s $95 million.

NetLink Trust IPO is expected to net proceeds of up to $2.63 billion. NetLink Trust is expected to have a market capitalisation of between $3.09 billion and $3.59 billion upon listing.

The cash which would flow to Singtel as part of the business trust?s IPO would come in handy as Singtel had reported a net debt position of S$10.66 billion as of 31 March 2017.

 

Net Link IPO - any advice?

 

MALAYSIA-BASED Shopper360 Limited on Wednesday placed 38 million shares at S$0.29 each for its initial public offering (IPO) for an eventual listing on the Catalist of the Singapore Exchange.

IPO proceeds will be used for business expansion and potential acquisitions. The group had a cash balance of $106 million as at Dec 31 last year. The IPO will also enable the group to build a co-ownership model, allowing up to 404 employees to become shareholders - and to therefore be inspired to keep delivering profits. A total of 22 shareholders in certain grp subsidiaries will have option to swap those interests for shares in the coy. Post-IPO, Simco, the Sim family vehicle, will control about 74% of HRnetGroup. Heliconia Capital Mgt, a Temasek Holdings unit, has been a shareholder since last October and will hold about 2% post-IPO. Both - Sim family and Heliconia have agreed to a six-mth lock-up period from listing date. Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are joint global coordinators and are also joint underwriters with DBS and Nomura. Credit Suisse is the stabilising manager.
