Shenzhen Forms Syntron Information has postponed its planned Hong Kong listing, citing market conditions, the Chinese financial technology firm said in a filing late Thursday.
- Forms Syntron had aimed to sell 58.96 million Hong Kong shares at up to HK$16 each, raising up to HK$943.4 million.
- It said it will not sign the international underwriting agreement related to the offering. It will refund all application money, without interest, by September 22.
- The company had lined up HK$119.6 million from cornerstone investors, including Chow Tai Fook Jewellery vice-chairman Cheng Chi Heng, Successful Lotus, Thalassa Capital and Yeebo Alpha.
- Forms Syntron said the delay would not affect its business and it remained committed to growth. It and its advisers were assessing a new timetable.
- Forms Syntron, already listed in Shenzhen, develops software and provides consulting services for banks, financial market operators and regulators.
