Air Astana Sets Final Pricing Ahead of London Listing, Implying Market Cap of $847 Million
By Anthony O. Goriainoff
BAE Systems-backed Air Astana said the pricing for its global depositary receipts has been set at $9.5 each, and 1,073.83 Kazakhstan tenge ($2.38) a share, implying a market capitalization of around $847 million.
The central Asia airline said Friday that the offering includes the sale of shares and GDRs held by BAE Systems (Kazakhstan) and Kazakhstan sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna. Each GDR has an interest in four shares in the company, the airline said.
Last month, the company said it expected a market capitalization of between $770 million to $962 million.
The company said the offering was comprised of a domestic offer of 7.5 million GDRs sold by BAE and 60.4 million shares sold by Air Astana and SK, and a global offer of 14.2 million GDRs sold by BAE. The offering will result in gross proceeds of around $350 million to $370 million, and around $120 million will be raised by the company to support its growth strategy, it said.
Admission of trading on the London Stock Exchange is expected Wednesday.
