HONG KONG — French beauty company L’Occitane International SA has fixed the share price for its initial public offering here at 15.08 Hong Kong dollars, or $1.94 at current exchange, according to a report filed to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
This would raise an estimated 2.64 billion Hong Kong dollars, or $339.7 million, assuming there is no exercise of the overallotment option.
The 36.4 million shares initially available were 160 times oversubscribed. And, as a result, 145.6 million shares from the international placing have been reallocated to the Hong Kong public offer, which — as reported — is due to start today.
The total number of shares available for the stock’s debut now represents 50 percent of the total 364.1 million shares initially available under the global offering.
