Chinese property developer Country Garden Holdings said on Tuesday it plans to sell HK$3.92 billion ($500 million) worth of shares in a share placement, raising capital to refinance existing offshore indebtedness and for general working capital.
The Guangdong-based company plans to sell 1.463 billion shares, representing 5.66% of the enlarged share capital, to third-party investors at HK$2.68 apiece, it said in a filing to the Hong Kong bourse.
The issue price represents a 17.79% discount to Monday’s close of HK$3.26 per share. UBS and J.P. Morgan are the placing agents.
