Corrects bottom of share price range to HK$8.68 from HK$8.86 in paragraph 2
By Scott Murdoch
SYDNEY, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Chinese bubble tea drinks company Guming Holdings is aiming to raise up to $202 million in a Hong Kong initial public offering, according to regulatory filings on Tuesday.
The company is selling 158.6 million shares in a price range of HK$8.68 to HK$9.94 each, the filings showed.
In that range, Guming will raise $177 million to $202 million and the final price will be decided by Friday, according to the filings.
The stock will begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Feb. 12.
Guming has 9,000 stores across mainland China and had previously aimed to raise up to $500 million via a Hong Kong listing, Reuters reported in September.
The company's IPO application lapsed in 2024 after six months of waiting for regulatory approval, sources told Reuters.
Bubble tea firms, led by Guming and Mixue, had their Hong Kong IPO plans put on hold last year by regulators worried about the after-market performance of their already listed peers.
