KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Sdn Bhd will relaunch its initial public offering (IPO) on Monday at a lower price than initially targeted due to weak investor appetite, three sources familiar with the deal said.
The IPO will likely be launched at RM6.50 per share, raising RM4.81 billion (US$1.12 billion), the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the process is private.
The offering was earlier expected to price in the RM7.60-RM8.00 per share range, raising up to US$1.4 billion.
Lotte Chemical Titan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The integrated petrochemical producer, which is targeting a July IPO on the Bursa Malaysia stock exchange, is wholly owned by South Korea's Lotte Chemical Corp.
Earlier this month, Lotte Chemical Titan said Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), Eastspring Investments Bhd, Great Eastern Life Assurance Malaysia Bhd, Maybank Asset Management Sdn Bhd and Maybank Islamic Asset Management Sdn Bhd had signed on as cornerstone investors.
The IPO plan involved the sale of 740.4 million shares, or 30 per cent of enlarged capital, with 18.4 per cent taken up by the cornerstone investors. -- REUTERS

why not, market respond is bad. either u call off the ipo or lower the price, if not, who will buy.
2017-07-02 14:14
What happened now,those that applied earlier ...will get the difference refunded?
2017-07-03 12:30
strange.... never before like this.....as usual after price determination date tomorrow , we will get the refund because for sure the final price will be lower than RM8.00. The extended book building start today and close at 10 pm tonight. I believe the final price will be around RM7.00 Which is relatively cheap...at forward PE arond 10 relative to Pet. Chem now trading at PE about 16. The strange thing is.... you will be given 5 market days to sell your shares to the company (shares buy back) at the final price.......this is ridiculous as who will sell if listing price is higher than IPO price unless the company expect the listing price will be lower than IPO price....so I could not see the logic behind this offer by the company....or may be the company wants to tell the investors...dont be afraid laaaa...It would not go down below IPO price laaaaa.....Gerenti Talak Lugi LOL....

u see lah ... 8.00 becomes 6.50 ... this makes me recall Malakoff and Ranhill, u go to see their price now!
2017-07-04 10:58
Pchem is now moving in its down channel. Interesting to know how Lotte will fare. At least at $6.50, it is less risky.
2017-07-04 11:19
Cannot compare daaa...Icon and FGV rugi punya company daa..LOTTE profit RM1.3b.....You compare musang king dengan sour manggo...mana ada logic daaaa....
2017-07-04 11:19
When listed time Icon , FGV profit also a lot. After 1-2 years everything can change. So Lotte also can change after 1-2 years?

firehawk even Ranhill profit more than before IPO more why still drop below IPO?
2017-07-04 11:38
if price revise to RM 6.50 means bankers no tipu the public, if price at 8.00 means tipu the public. why I said this cos if at 8.00 and opening till 5 days later cannot reach ipo price company buyback,public no loss but interest and commission loss. 1 month the sharks roll the public money without interest
2017-07-04 11:46
INi blue chip daa......same like PET Chem......Ranhi,Icon,FGV are red chip.....never before company willing to buy back its shares at IPO price after listing.....lu tau ka ??????
