Applications pile up as new rules delay offshore listings by Chinese firms

Corporate & Securities partner Thomas Kollar (Hong Kong) is quoted in this article discussing the impact of new rules for offshore listings by Chinese firms.

"The new regulations add another regulatory process and approval requirement on top of an already burdensome offshore IPO process. This adds more time and cost to the exercise for issuers and also more execution uncertainty as issues have to satisfy regulators in multiple jurisdictions, with competing requirements and interests sometimes," he says.
