Chinese copper foil maker Londian Wason prices US IPO at $22 apiece to raise about $95 million

- China's Londian Wason New Energy Tech on Tuesday priced its U.S. initial public offering at $22 per share, with the copper foil maker raising $94.3 million.

  • The company sold about 4.3 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) — which allow investors to buy shares of foreign companies on U.S. exchanges — in the IPO at the top end of its marketed range of $20 and $22.

  • Londian Wason's U.S. market debut is expected to test investor appetite for Chinese IPOs at a time when relations between Beijing and Washington remain contentious.

  • The U.S. IPO market has staged a broad recovery this year, but Chinese listings in New York are yet to see a similar revival amid geopolitical tensions.

  • Londian Wason sells electrolytic ​copper foil globally and is led by co-CEOs Guanran ​Wang and ⁠Guangling Zhou.

  • Prominent backers of the company include South Korea's SK Group and Mirae Asset.

  • Its stock will begin trading on the NYSE on Wednesday, under the ticker symbol "FOIL."

  • Cantor, ​Huatai Securities, CMB International, US Tiger Securities, Fortune ​Securities and VC Brokerage are the underwriters for the offering.
