Yili Shares Subscribed for 3.4 Times by 53 Leading Financial Institutions, Marking the Largest Private Placement in the Consumer Sector on China's A-Share Market
BEIJING, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- This is the issue worth over RMB 10 billion with the largest number of
subscribers (53), the smallest original issue discount (5.46%) and the largest
subscription rate (3.4 times subscribed to) since the release of China's new
regulations on refinancing.
On December 9, 2021, Yili Group released its non-public offering announcement,
signifying the finalization of the largest private placement in the consumer
sector on China's A-share market.
The announcement shows that the shares were eventually allotted to 22 targets
at the price of RMB 37.89 per share, with a total of 317,953,285 shares raising
about RMB 12,047 million.
This private placement by Yili attracted 53 leading institutional and
individual investors from around the world to bid for its shares. The issue
price represents a discount of 5.46% from the closing price on the inquiry
date, setting a new low since the new regulations on refinancing took effect.
Capital bidding for Yili shares recognizes its investment value
The small discount and enthusiastic bidders showed the unanimous recognition of
Yili's investment value. On the one hand, the promising prospect of the dairy
industry and Yili's outstanding performance bolstered investors' confidence. On
the other hand, it demonstrated confidence in Yili's strategic goals aimed at
ensuring its strong development prospects in the future.
The data in Yili's latest financial statements not only outperformed market
expectations, but also demonstrated a brand-new growth trend. During the first
three quarters of 2021, the company realized total operating revenues of RMB
85,007 million, up 15.23% year-on-year, and its net profits amounted to RMB
7,967 million, representing year-on-year growth of 31.82%.
As one of the world's top five dairy producers, Yili has continued to optimize
its product structure in a bid to strengthen its competitiveness as an industry
leader. The announcement states that funds raised through this issue will
primarily be used for bolstering Yili's layout and expanding its production
capabilities for high-value-added product varieties, as well as for
digitalizing operations. This will fully enhance the company's profitability
and operational efficiency.
Creating value for shareholders
The rapid growth of Yili's business scale and accelerated pace of establishing
a globalized presence have resulted in an increase in the company's demand for
working capital. The private placement can help Yili to optimize its financial
structure and improve the net profit end.
Yili has always paid high returns to its shareholders, which was also an
important factor behind investors' active participation in its private
placement. Since going public, Yili has cumulatively distributed dividends 21
times, with cash dividends worth RMB 30.4 billion in total, according to data.
At the 2021 Leadership Summit held by Yili Group, Chairman and President Pan
Gang put forward the company's goal of a "New Vision for Value Creation", in
which creating value for shareholders is one of the key pillars.
