CapitalXchange Audio – Hong Kong IPOs With Will Cai

By Liz Dunshee

Team Cooley has guided issuers and banks through pricing 12 Hong Kong IPOs so far this year! With a robust Chapter 18C pipeline, we expect more to come. In this CapitalXchange audio blog, I caught up with Will Cai to learn more about these deals. Will co-chairs Cooley’s China corporate practice and helped found the firm’s Asia capital markets practice. We discussed:

1. Current capital markets trends in Hong Kong.  
2. The impact of Chapter18C listing rules – and how specialized technology companies can use these rules to successfully debut in Hong Kong.
3. How the Hong Kong IPO process compares to the US IPO process.
4. Dual listing considerations.
5. What Will is most excited about when it comes to this part of his practice.
