Asian Legal Business is pleased to announce the release of the ALB Hong Kong IPO Handbook 2024 edition, which will be published in both Chinese and English languages.  This handbook is designed to be relevant for a year after its publication.

Despite facing challenges in the past two years, the Hong Kong capital market has surged in the latter half of 2022, and market sentiment is expected to improve further. With the easing of the HKEx's listing regulations and the return of homecoming listings, SPACs in Hong Kong have had a steady start in the new economy, green, and new consumer sectors. Biotechnology, health, and technology stocks are among the main IPO sectors, while media, communications, retail, consumer goods, and materials sectors are expanding their listing opportunities.

Moreover, the new listing mechanism for specialist technology firms is expected to strengthen Hong Kong's listing framework and enable a new generation of innovative companies to connect with the capital market. Despite the challenges, Hong Kong continues to be one of the most popular listing destinations in 2023, demonstrating substantial resilience and growth potential.

The ALB Hong Kong IPO Handbook 2024, to be released in December 2023, will provide comprehensive guides and case studies to aid you in navigating the IPO process in Hong Kong. It will be an indispensable tool in making informed decisions about going public.

We invite more contributors and supporting organizations to collaborate with us in publishing this handbook.

It will be distributed to over 50,000 legal professionals in the Asia Pacific. Free copies will be sent to in-house counsels, chartered secretaries in Hong Kong, China, and Singapore, business associations and chambers, international associations of CFOs and Corporate Treasurers, and more!

 

ALB香港首次公开上市手册2024

《亚洲法律杂志》(ALB)很高兴地向您宣布:《亚洲法律杂志 香港首次公开发行手册2024》已进入筹备之中,并预计将于年内出版。该《手册》将以简体中文及英文双语出版,在架销售时间为一年。

经历了近两年时间的市场起伏,香港资本市场自2022年下半年逐渐回暖,投资领域也再度活跃。随着疫情好转、中概股回归以及港交所上市制度的放宽,在港SPAC公司着眼新经济、绿色环保、新消费等领域,生物科技、健康和科技股成为主要IPO行业,传媒通信、零售和消费品以及材料等行业迎来更多上市机会。近期港交所推出的新专科技公司上市机制,预期也会进一步扩大香港的上市框架,助力创新领域的新一代公司接通资本市场。香港市场展现出强大的韧性和发展潜力,仍然处于不容忽视的地位。

此本《手册》正是在这样的背景下产生,其将涵盖香港上市的各方面法律问题,包括上市前准备、递交上市申请、上市条件、挂牌上市、持续监管、合规、内部风险防控、退市规定等。

ALB诚邀更多相关机构,参与本手册撰写。

本手册未来将触达亚太地区超过50,000名法律专业读者,并将免费提供给公司法务顾问,香港、大陆及新加坡地区特许秘书,商业组织及商会、国际企业资财协会等。
