In for the Chi­na biotech gold rush, BeiGene eyes mon­ster $800M-plus Hong Kong IPO

Fast on the heels of As­cle­tis’ record $400 mil­lion raise on the Hong Kong stock ex­change, BeiGene is propos­ing its own IPO in the city — to run par­al­lel with its cur­rent list­ing on Nas­daq. And they aren’t think­ing small.

The Bei­jing-based biotech $BGNE is mum about the de­tails, let­ting slip on­ly that it’s of­fer­ing 65,600,000 of its or­di­nary shares — 13 of which would make one Amer­i­can De­posi­tary Share. Giv­en its cur­rent stock price, that would amount to a whop­ping $873 mil­lion raise.
