Alibaba wants to raise $13.4 billion in Hong Kong listing

CNN  

London CNN Business — Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has announced plans to raise up to $13.4 billion by issuing shares in Hong Kong, a vote of confidence in the Asian financial hub that has been rocked by months of civil unrest. Alibaba will price 500 million new shares on or around November 20, with trading starting in Hong Kong roughly four business days later. At the current New York price of Alibaba ’s shares, the offering could raise as much as $13.4 billion, if the company’s bankers exercise an option to purchase some additional shares. The listing would surpass AB InBev’s roughly $5 billion IPO of its Asia business in Hong Kong earlier this year as well as Uber’s $8.1 billion debut in New York, the year’s biggest so far.
