Want Want China Holdings Limited (Want Want) is a leading F&B player in China.  Its flagship "Want Want" brand, together with its mascot "Hot-Kid" logo have been well-recognised for more than 15 years in China.  This IPO is the largest fund raising in the private sector since the start of 2008, when dramatically adverse market conditions forced ten IPOs to be postponed.  This one consisted of 14.6% new shares and 85.4% sale shares. The offer price was set at HK$3.00 per share, representing a market capitalisation of US$5.11bn. BNP Paribas was the Joint Bookrunner, Joint Lead Manager and Joint Sponsor of the Global Offering. This transaction represents a successful illustration of our integrated Greater China platform combining team work from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
