Circular to licensed corporations carrying out sponsor work and engaging in bookbuilding and placing activities
What the SFC said
The SFC updates its sponsor resourcing observations and lists red flags for dubious IPO arrangements, such as undisclosed funding of investors' subscriptions. Sponsors, overall coordinators and capital market intermediaries are expected to probe and document red flags, reject unresolved suspicious orders and report dubious arrangements to the SFC and SEHK.
