On the news front, the company announced prior to the trading session on July 3 that it had 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. The placing price represents a discount of approximately 12.0% to the closing price of HK$83.15 on July 2.
