SHANGHAI, China (AP) - China is to resume initial public offerings on its stock markets after a one-year break, as a major state-run engineering company announced Thursday plans to issue 60 million shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
China halted IPOs and other new share listings in April 2005 as it launched a program to shift government owned, nontradable shares into the market. Last month, it began allowing sales of secondary securities by companies with shares already traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges.
China CAMC Engineering Co. said it would use funds raised by its June 5 IPO to finance several projects, including some overseas. Pricing for the offering is due on June 2.
