聯交所發SPAC諮詢文件 金發局支持引入新上市選項
香港金融發展局就聯交所於9月發表有關特殊目的收購公司(SPAC)諮詢文件刊發回應。總括而言,金發局支持引入新的上市選項,加強香港作為理想上市和集資中心的優勢。
金發局認為SPAC作為傳統IPO集資途徑的補充制度,相關建議的框架設計恰如其份,具備多層的防禦機制,同時對保護投資者和維持市場質素亦非常重視。這制度旨在通過引進具規模及高質企業來港上市去實現行穩致遠的最終目標。
金發局主席李律仁表示,多年來,香港一直是首選的首次公開招股(IPO)中心,並在過去12年共7次登上全球IPO集資榜首。近年SPAC上市方式因為全球市場投資需求變化而興起,該局相信會有助提升香港在國際IPO領域的吸引力。他稱,在推出SPAC上市制度的同時,建構一個平衡的保護機制去維護投資者利益也甚為重要,而適當的投資者教育也是不可或缺。
金發局行政總監區景麟則指,建議書所提出的SPAC上市制度將能夠與現行上市機制融合,為企業提供額外集資途徑及增加投資者的投資選擇。由於SPAC投資的相關風險和不確定性相對較高,聯交所提出的建議有利於平衡發展機會及擴展潛能,也同時維護投資者利益,相信SPAC制度的推行將會鞏固香港作為世界頂尖集資中心之一的地位。
