EACON Group Co., Ltd. has finalized the offer price for its H-share listing in Hong Kong at HK$87.92 per share, the top end of the marketed range.

The Global Offering comprises 26.13 million H shares, split 10%/90% between the Hong Kong Public Offering (2.61 million shares) and the International Offering (23.52 million shares).
