Bank of China to issue $7.7 billion HK shares

Calculated as the biggest fund-raising plan in Hong Kong so far in 2010, the offering represents 20 percent of the bank's H-share capital.

"We want to do it as soon as possible but we will also have to find a good timing to make it happen," Bank of China chairman Xiao Gang said.

He added, "The board has approved the plan and now we need to seek approvals from our shareholders as well as the regulators in both Hong Kong and Beijing for our new share issuances."

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.
