· Issued by Direct Drive Tech Limited Class H

RoboTechnik Intelligent Technology SZSE:300757, Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic SSE:603228 and Red Avenue New Materials SSE:603650 priced their Hong Kong share offerings on Friday, aiming to raise a combined HK$13.27 billion ($1.69 billion), as mainland Chinese companies increasingly turn to the city for capital.

Here are some details:

  • Automation equipment maker RoboTechnik priced its H shares at HK$436 each, at the top of the marketed range, to raise about HK$5.18 billion. The proceeds will support its photovoltaic and silicon-photonics equipment business.

  • Printed circuit board maker Kinwong priced its offering at HK$69.88 per share, also at the top of the range, to raise HK$5.1 billion as it expands capacity to meet AI-driven demand.

  • Materials producer Red Avenue priced its H shares at HK$44 each, the top of the range, to raise about HK$3 billion.

  • All three companies are expected to publish the results of their Hong Kong public offerings on Sept. 28, before their Main Board debuts on Sept. 29.

  • Hong Kong's IPO and secondary-listing pipeline has remained active this year, as mainland Chinese firms increasingly use the city to raise funds and broaden access to international investors.
