中国大型地产开发商--万科周四宣布，将透过在港配售新H股集资78.9亿港元，所得资金将用于偿还集团境外债务性融资，不会用于境内住宅开发。

万科在联交所公告称，将按每股H股25港元配售约3.156亿股新H股，相当经扩大后全部已发行H股及全部已发行股本分别约16.67%及2.72%。配售价较万科H股周三收盘价26.25港元折让约4.76%。

在扣除所有成本及费用后，公司预计净集资约78.65亿港元，拟将配售所得款项净额用于补充营运资金，具体用于偿还集团境外债务性融资，不会用于境内住宅开发。如有个别境外债务性融资在配售所得款项净额到位前到期或需要偿还，万科表示可以自筹资金先偿还该等债务，并在配售所得款项净额到位后予以置换。

中信里昂、瑞士银行香港分行、中国国际金融香港证券有限公司及招银国际融资担任配售代理。
