What happened
Regulators are increasing scrutiny of the IPO market to boost transparency in Hong Kong listings. A recent prospectus from Hosin Electronics Co., a Chinese memory product maker, revealed that cornerstone investors included Shenzhen Transsion Holdings Co. and Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co. These companies absorbed up to 42% of the offering, illustrating how industry partners are involved in each other’s deals. Hosin also disclosed that it served as a cornerstone backer for both companies’ own Hong Kong listings this year.
