The Group’s shares opened at S$0.220, with an intraday high of S$0.220, and closed the day at S$0.215, 7.5% higher than the IPO price of S$0.200 per share. A total of 2,661,400 shares changed hands during the day. The closing price puts the Group’s market capitalisation at S$107.5 million.
In respect of 75,000,000 new shares (“Placement Shares”) (including 51,250,000 new shares subscribed by cornerstone investors), all the Placement Shares were validly subscribed with application monies received amounting to S$15.0 million.
With the proceeds raised from the IPO, the Group aims to capitalise on trends from the steel market’s major customer, the PRC, as various initiatives and policies aimed at pollution control and reducing less efficient steel production continue to drive the demand for high-grade iron ore. The Group also looks to opportunities arising in the Asia Pacific region as regional iron ore markets continue to develop.
