Disconnect: time-charters and the freight market
Time to jump off?
Taiwanese liner operator TS Lines’ initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange raised HK$941m ($121m) after its listing today.
The funds raised were, however, short of the $145m TS Lines had originally targeted.
The company issued 250m shares at between HK$3.50 and HK$4.50 each, with the final offer price at HK$4.18 (US$0.54) per share.
JP Morgan and China Merchants Securities were joint bookrunners for the IPO, which was subscribed 12.09 times, while the international offering was subscribed 2.22 times.
