Leading Chinese firm Haiwen & Partners and King & Wood Mallesons are advising on Postal Savings Bank of China Co. Ltd.'s Shanghai listing, which could be the largest listing in China in four years.
The Hong Kong-listed state-run bank, also known as PSBC, is seeking to raise up to $4.7 billion in a secondary listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The deal, which is subject to approval from Chinese financial regulators, would be the largest listing in China since Chinese brokerage Guotai Junan Securities Co.'s $4.9 billion initial public offering (IPO) in 2015, according to financial data provider Dealogic. Haiwen also advised Guotai Junan on its IPO.
PSBC's Hong Kong listing in 2016, which raised $7.4 billion, was the biggest globally since Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s still-record $25 billion IPO in 2014.
Haiwen Beijing partners Wang Lei and Du Ning are advising PSBC. The firm also advised PSBC as Chinese counsel on its Hong Kong IPO, while Davis Polk & Wardwell advised on Hong Kong and U.S. laws.
King & Wood Mallesons Beijing partners Zhou Ning and Liu Sijia are advising underwriter CICC, Postal Securities, CITIC and UBS as co-sponsors. The Sino-Australian firm also represented the underwriters – CICC, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan – as Chinese counsel on PSBC's Hong Kong listing, while Clifford Chance advised the banks on Hong Kong and U.S. laws.
