Time Interconnect Technology (HKG:1729) agreed to place 138.1 million new shares at HK$21 each, raising net proceeds of about HK$2.88 billion, according to a Tuesday Hong Kong bourse filing.
The placing price represents a discount of about 13.6% to the last closing price and about 5.9% to the five-day average.
