Remarkable Book Building Result for ACLEDA Bank's IPO
March 17, 2020
ACLEDA Bank Plc., the largest commercial bank in Cambodia, has closed its books for Book Building on Saturday, March 14, 2020. ACLEDA Bank with the support of its lead manager, Yuanta Securities (Cambodia) Plc., is preparing the allocation and final subscription price based on the Book Building and Subscription Procedure.
The official Book Building result will be announced to the public after getting an approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia ("SECC").
Dr. In Channy, President & Group Managing Director of ACLEDA Bank Plc., said that "more than 2,000 individual investors participated in the Book Building Process. This is a success story for ACLEDA Bank Plc. as the most trusted bank and the first commercial bank to be listed on the Cambodia Securities Exchange. By having individual investors as our shareholders, we expect to build a stronger relationship with the customers at large. We would like to thank our potential investors who have spent their valuable time and effort to participate in the book building and subscribe to ACLEDA Bank's shares."
Mr. Han Kyung Tae, Managing Director of Yuanta Securities (Cambodia) Plc., said that "despite the concerns of COVID-19 and increasing uncertainties in the global financial markets, the demand during the book building process has been exceptionally high with more than three-times oversubscription. While the current book building result is unofficial and subject to the Cambodia Securities Exchange and SECC's approval, the press release meant for the investors preparation for the subscription which will begin on March 24, 2020. This IPO is a golden opportunity for retail investors to become shareholders of the most trusted and financially healthy bank in Cambodia."
Mr. Han Kyung Tae further added that, "4,375,696 shares will be reserved for the successful investors in the Book Building. All public investors will be invited to the subscription process to purchase ACLEDA Bank's shares at the final IPO price from March 24 to April 4, 2020 (these dates are subject to approval from the regulator). Both successful and unsuccessful investors can still subscribe to more shares during the subscription period. Up to 21,878,477 shares will be available for subscription at the final offering price."
Dr. In Channy, said that he is looking forward to welcoming all public investors to subscribe to the shares and become the shareholders of ACLEDA Bank Plc.
