On July 6, 51World fell 5.64% in regular trading, trading at HK$79.35 per share, with turnover of HK$122 million. The decline extends selling pressure triggered by the company's discounted share placement announced on July 3.
According to the announcement, 51World entered into a placing agreement with Goldman Sachs and Huatai International to place 5.4656 million new H shares at HK$73.20 per share, representing an approximately 12.0% discount to the July 2 closing price of HK$83.15. The placement shares account for roughly 1.4% of existing issued H shares, with estimated net proceeds of approximately HK$395 million. The discounted placement dilutes per-share earnings in the near term, and the market has reacted negatively given the company launched equity financing only about six months after its IPO.
