By the numbers
High Demand Triggers Clawback
The intense interest in the offering led to valid online subscriptions reaching 53.64 billion shares, which was 8,288.82 times the amount initially reserved for online investors. This surge triggered a clawback mechanism that increased the retail tranche to 9.7 million shares.
Comparison to Recent Listings
The final online allocation rate for the IPO settled at 0.018 per cent, equating to roughly one winning lot for every 5,500 applications. On the Shanghai Star Market, each winning lot consists of 500 shares, with winners selected at random. These odds are significantly lower than those seen in other recent technology listings, such as the July IPO of ChangXin Memory Technologies, which had an allocation rate of approximately 0.47 per cent.
