JunHe acts on ZTE’s $1.65 bln additional placement on SZSE 

JunHe has advised Shenzhen-based telecom equipment maker ZTE on its $1.65 billion additional offering of stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, with China Securities being the sole sponsor.

According to ZTE’s press release, this is by far the largest private placement of A shares since 2017 and the only placement passing the billion-dollar threshold recently. The proceeds will be used for further research and development of 5G technology and products, including big data and network intelligence technologies, as well as supplementing working capital. By far ZTE has seized 35 commercial 5G deals globally and is cooperating with about 60 network operators on 5G.

The JunHe team was led by partners Zhang Jianwei, Liu Yongzhao and Wei wei.
