Hong Kong-listed operator and developer of underground shopping centres in China, Renhe Commercial Holdings, has retained Kaiwen, Conyers Dill & Pearman, Norton Rose, Davis Polk and Latham & Watkins for the third time since its IPO, for its US$300m senior notes offering on the Singapore Securities Exchange (SGX- ST).

Renhe floated a similar issue in May this year on the Hong Kong Exchange, offering a tranche of commercial high-yield notes valued also at US$300m.

Renhe has retained its “favoured five” for its US$435m IPO in October 2008 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as well as for the notes offering in both Hong and Singapore.

Latham acted in the capacity of issuer’s US counsel in 2008 and later as underwriter’s counsel in May 2010.

Kaiwen acted as counsel to underwriters in May and has been retained in the same capacity for this deal.

Davis Polk, Norton Rose and Jingtian & Gongcheng acted as counsel to issuer for all three deals.

Latham & Watkins has returned to represent Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BOC International and UBS Investment Bank as counsel to the underwriters. The Latham team was led by David Zhang, Eugene Lee, Louis Rabinowitz and Ivy Peng.ALB
