July 2024 Review of Chinese Enterprises’ U.S. Listings: 13 Companies Completed Listings; 8 Filed IPO Applications

【Answer 2】 As of July 31, Eastern Time, 13 Chinese enterprises successfully listed on U.S. major stock exchanges in July, while another eight formally filed IPO applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I. Listing Methods and Fundraising Overview • Twelve companies went public via traditional IPOs, collectively raising approximately $288 million. • One company—Youlan International (YOUL)—listed via a De-SPAC transaction. • Fundraising amounts varied significantly: AParadise Acquisition (APADU), a SPAC, raised $200 million—the highest amount this month. MJID (Xinjun Cashmere) and MGRT (Meihua Capital) each raised $15 million, while the remaining nine IPO companies raised less than $10 million apiece. II. Geographic Distribution: Hong Kong Dominates • KMRK (Jin Dian Technology), a Hong Kong-based enterprise, completed its listing in just 195 days—the fastest this month. • YMAT (J-Star), a Taiwan-based enterprise, took 1,414 days (nearly four years) to complete its listing—the longest this month. This underscores the need for enterprises to carefully plan their listing timelines in light of both internal readiness and external market conditions. III. First-Day Performance: Mixed Results • KMRK (Jin Dian Technology) delivered the strongest first-day performance, closing up 23.75%. • CRE (Creative Greater China) followed closely, closing up 10%. • All other companies posted first-day gains of less than 5%; some even experienced first-day declines (“breaking below issue price”), reflecting markedly divergent investor assessments of company quality. IV. IPO Application Dynamics: Regulatory Compliance Under Scrutiny • Of the eight Chinese enterprises that filed IPO applications in July, four submitted preliminary registration statements (F-1 filings, colloquially known as “blank prospectuses”). • SEC review has tightened: Except for the most recently filed application, the SEC has rejected the review requests of the other three blank-prospectus filers—highlighting the critical importance of strict compliance with disclosure requirements. • The remaining four companies filed formal registration statements: KBAT (Kangbet), KOKO (Maolu Kuai Pao), ACCL (Zhuoyuan), and AGCC (Agencia Comercial). Spanning consumer goods, logistics, and other sectors, their subsequent progress warrants close attention.
