MAINLAND property developer Agile Group Holdings Ltd. said it was looking to list its property management unit on the main board in Hong Kong, raising up to HK$4.7 billion (US$600 million) to fund investments, acquisitions and upgrade operations.

The mainland-focused property management service provider plans to issue 333.33 million shares of A-Living Services Co., at a price ranging from HK$10.80 to HK$14.20 apiece, Agile said in a filing yesterday.

That would put the unit’s value at about US$1.84 billion to US$2.42 billion.

Agile had earlier said that its shareholders would be entitled to apply for shares of its to-be-spun-off unit on an assured basis pursuant to a preferential offering.

The issue price of A-Living will be fixed Feb. 3 and dealing in the shares is expected to begin Feb. 9.

HSBC and Huatai Financial Holdings are joint sponsors of the global offering. (SD-Agencies)
