Assisting Existing Shareholders in Exiting and Optimizing Shareholder Structure
QIC successfully managed the 40% stake held by a well-known international private equity fund during the process of assisting a leading traditional industry company in Taiwan with its relisting. In the pre-listing phase, QIC systematically arranged for the equity to be placed with various institutional investors at an $800 million valuation. During this phase, we not only ensured market confidence in the company but also laid a strong foundation for the upcoming IPO. Following the listing, QIC continued to provide support, helping the company effectively manage shareholder structure changes, maintain market stability, and bring in long-term foreign investors.
Client Challenge
Managing Shareholder Structure Changes and Balancing Stock Price and Liquidity Needs
As the company prepared for relisting, existing shareholders, especially the international private equity fund, sought to exit to realize profits through asset restructuring. At the same time, global foreign investors showed great interest in the company and aimed to establish substantial holdings to participate in its future growth. The company faced a dual challenge of accommodating the exit of shareholders while avoiding stock price volatility.
QIC Advantage
Systematic Operations to Smoothly Introduce New Investors and Optimize Shareholder Structure
Leveraging its extensive capital market experience, QIC provided comprehensive strategic support. During the pre-listing phase, QIC helped the international private equity fund orderly exit its holdings and effectively placed the shares with multiple institutional investors, including sovereign funds, foreign institutions, and corporate venture capital. These new investors not only brought long-term stable funding but also enhanced the company’s market value. In addition, QIC’s deep understanding of the company’s core business and industry trends allowed us to craft a compelling capital market story, continuously attracting foreign investors. Through multiple well-executed large-scale transactions, QIC successfully facilitated the orderly exit of existing shareholders while optimizing the company’s shareholder structure, laying the groundwork for future growth.
Results
Continued Growth in Market Value and Foreign Ownership from Pre-listing to Post-listing
QIC successfully assisted the existing shareholders in exiting while bringing in multiple long-term foreign investors. Through carefully planned large-scale transactions, we ensured the stability of the company’s stock price, with its market value continuing to hit new highs. Despite multiple exits by existing shareholders, stock performance remained stable, and the company’s market value eventually reached $4 billion. More importantly, foreign ownership exceeded 40%, significantly enhancing the quality of the company’s shareholder structure, and providing strong support for its long-term stable growth.
