Xiaomi cuts valuation after pulling CDR issue
Print Edition
CHINESE smartphone maker Xiaomi has lowered its likely valuation to between US$55 billion and US$70 billion following its decision to delay its mainland share offering until after its Hong Kong IPO, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The delay was triggered by a dispute between the company and regulators over the valuation of its China depositary receipts, sources said.
Xiaomi Corp is using a range of US$55 billion to US$70 billion in its discussions with potential cornerstone investors ahead of the planned launch of its Hong Kong initial public offering later this week, three sources said.
The sources declined to be named because the discussions were not public. Xiaomi did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the valuation.
The new valuation is below the US$100 billion touted by sources earlier this year and below the more recent floor price of US$70 billion that the company and its advisers had informally used as guidance for investors.
The company said it was asking regulators to postpone its application to sell CDRs, but gave no reason for the decision.
“After iterative, careful research, the company has decided to implement its Hong Kong and mainland IPO in a measured way,” Xiaomi said in a post on its Weibo account.
“We’ll list in Hong Kong first, before going public on the mainland through the CDR.”
Beijing-based, Cayman-domiciled Xiaomi had been expected to raise up to US$10 billion, split between its Hong Kong and mainland offerings in one of the biggest tech floats worldwide in recent years. Two sources said it was eying to sell 10 percent of its enlarged capital in the Hong Kong offering.
