金杜律师事务所担任广州农商银行（股票代码：1551）中国法、香港法以及美国法法律顾问，协助其完成首次公开发行并在香港联交所主板上市，融资规模达10.7亿美元（超额配售选择权行使前）。这是今年香港规模最大的上市项目之一。
King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) has advised Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank (Stock Code: 1551) as its PRC, Hong Kong and US counsel on its US$1.07 billion (before the exercise of the over-allotment option) initial public offering and listing on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This is one of the biggest listings in Hong Kong in this year.
这也是金杜的第三单同时提供包括中国法、香港法及美国证券法在内一站式法律服务的银行上市项目。此前，金杜在2015年12月已分别为青岛银行及郑州银行在香港成功上市提供一站式法律服务。
This is also the third bank IPO where KWM provided one-stop legal services covering PRC, Hong Kong and US securities laws, following Bank of Qingdao and Bank of Zhengzhou’s successful listing in Hong Kong in December 2015.
金杜中国主席张毅表示，“这个项目凸显了金杜在金融服务行业的优势，也是事务所执行复杂且具较高知名度IPO项目能力的例证。客户越来越得益于一家律所提供一站式解决方案的服务模式，中国客户尤为明显。金杜以众多项目的丰富经验和杰出表现，不断夯实在资本市场交易以及其他跨境交易中为客户提供无缝境内外法律服务的领先实力。”
Commenting on the deal, KWM’s Chairman of China Yi Zhang said, “This is a testament to our strength in the financial services sector and also the firm’s capability to execute complex and high profile IPOs. Clients increasingly see the benefits of integrated one firm solutions, Chinese clients in particular. KWM has an unrivalled track record of providing seamless onshore and offshore services, in capital market transactions as well as other cross-border matters.”
广州农商银行是中国第四大农村商业银行（以一级资本计），也是广东省总资产、净资产、存款、贷款、营业收入及净利润最大的农村商业银行。
Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank ranked fourth among rural commercial banks in China in terms of tier-one capital, and is the largest rural commercial bank in Guangdong Province in terms of total assets, net assets, deposits, loans, operating income and net profits.
