APAC IPOs & Placements

Zhen Zhou, Toh

Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.
On Friday, Bloomberg reported that China Securities Regulatory Commission’s (CSRC) was weighing tighter rules for Chinese companies listing overseas which could have an impact on upcoming large IPOs such as ByteDance and Didi Chuxing. 
However, shortly after, on the same day, CSRC came forward to deny it. While the rumor has been dispelled quickly, one should keep in mind that it wasn’t too long ago that the SEC tightened its restrictions on Chinese companies as it sought public comments for the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA). The push and pull factors that we highlighted in our China ADRs note last year seem to remain strong with both sides wanting to limit Chinese companies listing in the US.
