Country Garden stock falls after Chinese developer cancels share placement
碧桂园取消配股后股价大跌
Issuance by one of country’s biggest property groups would have been a rare new deal in the investment-starved sector
碧桂园突然取消了3亿美元的配股计划，这原本将成为危机中的中国房地产行业难得的一笔新融资交易。
One of China’s biggest property developers has abruptly abandoned a share placement, sending its stock down as much as 10 per cent on Tuesday and renewing concerns about the troubled real estate sector.
中国最大的房地产开发商之一碧桂园(Country Garden)突然取消一项配股计划，导致其股价在周二盘中一度下跌10%，并再度引起人们对中国房地产行业的担忧。
Country Garden, one of the country’s largest developers and a barometer of the sector’s health, decided to cancel a $300mn share placement on Monday night, two people briefed on the situation said. A successful placement would have been a rare new capital markets deal in a sector starved of investment. JPMorgan was the sole bookrunner.
两名知情人士表示，碧桂园周一晚间决定取消一项3亿美元的配股计划。碧桂园是中国最大的开发商之一，也是中国房地产行业健康状况的晴雨表。若碧桂园成功配股将是这个急需投资的行业难得的一笔新资本市场交易。在原计划中，摩根大通(JPMorgan)将担任独家账簿管理人。
“Due to inconsistency in communications with various parties, the company hasn’t managed to sign off the final agreement on a proposed [share placement] plan,” Country Garden said in a statement sent to the Financial Times on Tuesday. “The company is also not considering the deal at the current stage.”
“由于各方沟通不一致，本公司未就拟议的（配股）计划订立最终协议，”碧桂园周二发给英国《金融时报》的声明中写道。“本公司现阶段并不考虑该交易。”
