Bank Of Communications culminates Hong Kong rights issue

BoComm was able to raise $2.29bln from the H-shares offering.

Bank of Communications Co., 19%-owned by HSBC Holdings PLC (HBC), said Thursday it has completed the Hong Kong portion of a US$4.8 billion ($617.32 million) rights issue in both Shanghai and Hong Kong.

China's fifth-largest lender by assets said it raised HK$17.78 billion (US$2.29 billion) in a rights issue in Hong Kong, representing 99.28% of the total number of rights shares available in the territory.

The bank offered new Hong Kong dollar-denominated H shares at HK$5.14 (US$0.66) each in the rights issue, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

In June, Bank of Communications completed the Shanghai portion of its rights issue, raising CNY17.1 billion (US$2.52 billion) via a rights issue of yuan-denominated A shares, or nearly 98% of its target of as much as CNY17.5 billion (US$2,58 billion).

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
