According to the Chairman and CEO of Double Dragon Properties, the first company to conduct an Initial Public Offering (IPO) this year, the company’s IPO offer was 14 times oversubscribed, a sign that there may be healthy demand for the stock.
“We are grateful for the support at 14x (oversubscription to base offer),” said Edgar Injap Sia II, head of Double Dragon Properties Corp. in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Sia made the comment after the company completed the bookbuilding process which ran from March 17 to 20.
IPO Price and Offer Details
Double Dragon (DD) also announced that the share’s final offer price has been pegged at P2.00, the maximum price originally indicated by the company.
Double Dragon is expected to raise as much as P1.16 billion by selling 579.73 million common shares, leading to a public float of 26% after the IPO. At a P2.00 offer price, the company’s market capitalization is estimated at P4.46 billion.
Shares will be offered to the public during the offer period which will run from March 25 to April 1.
The stock will then be listed and will start trading on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) starting April 7 using the stock ticker “DD”.
