百威亚太在港上市计划被取消近100亿美元IPO大计胎死腹中
格隆汇7月13日丨北京时间7月13日凌晨，百威英博(BUD.US)表示，已决定不再推进亚太子公司(百威亚太)在香港的IPO计划。百威亚太规模近100亿美元的IPO大计胎死腹中。
公司称，由于几个因素，包括当前市场状况，公司没有在推进此项交易，公司将密切关注市场状况，并基于严格的财务纪律持续评估各种选择，以提高股东价值、优化业务并推动长期增长。
据悉，围绕百威亚太在香港上市的定价问题，公司与摩根大通及摩根士丹利未能达成共识。
百威英博(BUD.US)周五收跌3.03%，报86.94美元。
根据原先安排，百威亚太以每股40港元至47港元招股，发售16.265亿股，集资650.6亿至764.46亿港元。 若百威亚太行使超额配股权，发售规模增至18.705亿股，集资额增至748.2亿至879.14亿港元。
也就是说，以其2018年盈利约14.08亿美元计算，百威此次上市对应的市盈率介于38.5~45倍。
知情人士表示，该子公司周四曾向投资者暗示，IPO发行价将处于之前的指导价格区间的下半段。
还值得一提的是，和大多数的港股IPO不一样，百威此次并未引入基石投资者。据悉当时百威管理层认为百威定价合理，自信能够吸引到足够多的机构投资者，不担心认购不足的可能性。
此次百威亚太在港上市计划的暂停，是有记录以来被取消的规模第三大IPO。2011年，西班牙彩票巨头Sociedad Estatal de Loterias y Apuestas del Estado SA曾寻求上市融资101亿美元；2009年，保险公司友邦保险控股有限公司(AIA Group Ltd., 1299.HK, 简称∶友邦保险)曾首次尝试在香港上市，当时该公司寻求融资100亿美元。
有分析人士认为，该亚洲子公司或再次尝试在香港或其他交易所上市，不过它需要重新提交新的上市文件，提供更新的财务数据。
不过就目前而言，搁置融资计划可能会加大该亚洲子公司进行地区性并购交易的难度，也会加大母公司百威英博削减巨额债务的难度。在进行一连串收购后，百威英博去年年底的负债超过了1000亿美元。
