Master Class IPO in Hong Kong

March 17-19, 2010
Hong Kong

Thinking of taking your business public in Hong Kong?

Visor Capital is delighted to invite you to our “IPO in Hong Kong” Master Class organised by Deloitte and Visor Capital on 17-19 March 2010 in Hong Kong.

Taking a private business public with an IPO or pursuing a secondary listing is a strategic decision that companies take as part of their fundraising and public awareness initiatives. A company preparing to trade its stocks on the market has to keep up with new regulatory requirements and assumes new responsibilities.

Companies across the CIS have traditionally considered the London Stock Exchange as their IPO platform. However, nowadays the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges (HKEx) is gaining popularity as an alternative to London, which has been backed up by Rusal’s listing and recent comments made in Kazakhstan by the Head of the National Bank. HKEx is an international financial centre in Asia with a rich pool of capital and active participation from international investors.

There are several major advantages to an IPO or a secondary listing in Hong Kong for companies operating in Central Asia. Cultural identity and similar business styles in additional to a common geographical area is the obvious one to mention. Hong Kong’s extensive experience in listing mainland Chinese companies has put it in a strong position to raise funds for other fast growing economies. This is a critical factor for companies as IPOs and secondary listings involve complex preparation procedures to fulfill listing and corporate governance requirements. In addition, proximity to China and its surge as a major economic force facilitates the development of business opportunities and cooperation within the CIS.

To learn more about the vibrant securities market in Hong Kong and the attractiveness of listing on HKEx, Visor Capital and Deloitte have developed a three-day MASTERCLASS in Hong Kong. Partners from our CIS and China firms will lead you through a series of talks where we will introduce you to the HKEx, investment banks, lawyers and other key parties involved in an IPO and secondary listings. We can also arrange additional introductions, depending on your personal requirements.
