Hong Kong Stock Exchange loosens the “one share one vote” principle and rejects the sunset clause
|
To attract IPOs, especially tech companies, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange gave up the “one share one vote” principle. The fact takes place after years of discussions. In 2014, Alibaba’s IPO sparked off the long-running debate. The e-commerce giant listed its stock in the New York Stock Exchange (the IPO surpassed US$ 20 billion) because the Hong Kong Stock Exchange did not allow the listing of companies with dual-class shares – structure that violates the balance ensured by the one-single class structure, but grants the corporate executive control of the company with a small portion of its capital.
