Deacons advises the sole sponsor and underwriters on Smart-Core Holdings IPO

Deacons has advised the sole sponsor DBS Asia Capital Limited and underwriters in relation to the global offering and Main Board listing of Smart-Core Holdings Limited in Hong Kong.

Smart-Core Holdings is a leading distributor of integrated circuit and other electronic components headquartered in China with presence in Hong Kong and Macau.

Smart-Core Holdings published its prospectus on 27 September 2016 seeking to raise up to approximately HK$299 million from the offering, subject to the exercise of over-allotment option. The company listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 7 October 2016.

Deacons has a strong track record of advising on successful IPOs. The firm recently acted on the HK$101 million IPO of Star Properties Group, the HK$160 million IPO for Vincent Medical Holdings and the HK$65 million IPO of Hypebeast; a record breaking listing with the best first-day performance in 2016 of any Asian initial public offering this year.

Deacons’ team is led by corporate finance head Ronny Chow and supported by associates Maynard Leung, Fiona Leung and Vincent Chan.
