E-Land spin-off plans an IPO in Hong Kong

JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:04/24/2008

 

Retailer E-Land Fashion China Holdings Limited, a spin-off of Korea’s E-Land World Limited, plans to raise as much as $369 million in a Hong Kong initial public offering if the stock market rebounds.

 

The women’s apparel retailer will be the second IPO in Hong Kong since March.

 

It will be closely watched because market newcomers have performed poorly this year.

 

The company is selling 496.3 million shares, or 25 percent of its enlarged share capital, at HK$3.80-HK$5.80 (45 to 70 cents) each, according to a document obtained by Reuters that details the terms.

 

Of the shares being offered, 60 percent are new shares and 40 percent are existing.

 

E-Land manages a portfolio of seven women’s apparel brands, including E-Land, Scofield and Teenie Weenie, which are operated under a license from its parent.

E-land to Sell Three Carrefour Stores

Maeil Newspaper : 09/28/2006

 

E-land is likely to accept the Fair Trade Commission's (FTC) recommendation that the company should sell three Carrefour stores in order to acquire Carrefour Korea, according to a report on Thursday.

 

In a press briefing regarding the conclusion of E-land's takeover of Carrefour Korea, held at the Seoul Lexington Hotel on Thursday, Kwon Soon-moon, CEO of E-land, announced that it had decided to sell three Carrefour stores among the five in the Ahnyang-Gunpo region, four in the Seongnam-Yongin region and two in the Sooncheon area, in accordance with the FTC's conditional acceptance of the firm's merger with Carrefour Korea.

 

"Three distributors have so far revealed their respective proposals to buy three stores that are currently under our disposal plan, while we are not going to rush into a deal, as a maximum of 18 months has been given for us to consider the plan," he added, while refusing to disclose the name of those three expectant bidders.

 

Kwon additionally revealed that the final price for E-land to acquire Carrefour Korea was set at 1.48 trillion won, which had greatly dropped from the initial price of 1.75 trillion won, as a result of the recent inspection into the subject firm's financial conditions, such as the firm's account payable and reserve cash.

 

According to Kwon's explanation, E-land World and New Core invested 300 billion won in the latest takeover fund, while a group of investors, which include Fine Partners, Korea Development Financing, Tong Yang Investment Bank, Korea Development Bank Capital and Deutsche Bank, contributed 610 billion won.

 

800 billion won was borrowed from Woori Bank and Kookmin Bank, and the remaining money in the fund is planned to be put into store renovation and operations.
