君合律师事务所和美国佳利律师事务所近日代表中国最大的运动鞋服零售商滔搏国际,完成了其在港交所主板的挂牌上市。此次上市共募集10.1亿美元(约合69亿元人民币)资金,海问律师事务所及富而德律师事务所为联席保荐人及承销商提供了法律意见。
这是港交所2019年来规模第二大的上市,9月30日,百威亚太刚刚以其50亿美元的港股上市夺得今年头魁。根据路透社的报道,此次上市再一次试探了香港市场的投资者胃口。据财新网数据,10月10日上市当天,滔博以发行价8.5港元开盘,随后一路攀升,盘中最高达9.5港元,涨逾10%。滔博此次所募资金的绝大部分将用于还债。
君合此次项目的牵头律师为合伙人张建伟、李茂昶、林家羽和魏伟;海问团队的牵头人为合伙人蓝洁、李丽萍及牟坚。
