AMTD Digital Inc. (“AMTD Digital” or the “Company”), one of the most comprehensive one-stop digital solutions platforms in Asia, announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 16,000,000 American depositary shares (“ADSs”), every five ADSs representing two Class A ordinary shares of the Company, at a price to the public of US$7.80 per ADS, which is above the midpoint of the previously disclosed price range. The offering is expected to close on or about July 19, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company has granted the underwriters a greenshoe option, exercisable within 30 days from the date of the final prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 additional ADSs at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company raised total gross proceeds of US$124.8 million in the initial public offering, assuming the underwriters of the initial public offering do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs.
The ADSs are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 15, 2022, under the ticker symbol “HKD,” with a pre-greenshoe market capitalization of US$1.443 billion. The IPO represents the second unicorn under AMTD Group Company Limited to be successfully listed on NYSE, subsequent to the successful listing of AMTD IDEA Group (formerly known as “AMTD International Inc.”) in 2019 being the first Hong Kong home-grown unicorn to successfully list on NYSE at that time.
