Sands China Raises $2.5B in IPO
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS : ) Macau unit, Sand
China raised $2.5 billion through its Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO). The company has priced the IPO for 1.87 billion shares at HK$10.38 per share, the low end of the expected HK$10.38-HK$13.88 range.
The proceeds from this offering, combined with $1.75 billion in bank financing, would aid Sands China to restart its Macau's Cotai Strip construction projects. Last year, the company was forced to halt its casino expansion projects in Macau due to financial constraints, at which time it laid off 11,000 workers.
The IPO is being handled by five investment banks. Citigroup (NYSE: C :
) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS :
) are the joint global coordinators for the offer while Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS :
), BNP Paribas SA and UBS AG (NYSE: UBS :
) are the underwriters.
