Deloitte assists JD Health to list on Main Board of Hong Kong

With "internet + healthcare" policies and technologies continuing to progress, exacerbated by the pandemic, Deloitte China successfully helped JD Health International Inc. (JD Health; 06618.HK) list on the Main Board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 8 December 2020.

As the reporting accountant of JD Health's Hong Kong listing, Deloitte China provided professional, high-quality audit services to JD Health, using our rich industry experience and outstanding service quality. On entering the Hong Kong capital market, JD Health will leverage Hong Kong's internationalized, diverse strategic landscape to become the go-to health management platform for everyone in China.

In its public offering, JD Health sold 380 million shares (excluding over-allotment shares) at an offer price of HKD70.58 per share. The total funds raised were approximately HKD27 billion. In terms of proceeds raised, this was Hong Kong's largest new listing year-to-date after the secondary listing of JD.com.

JD Health's first-day closing price was HKD110 per share, 56% higher than the offer price. This enabled JD Health's market capitalization to reach about HKD344 billion on its first trading day. 

JD Health's successful listing makes it:

• The world's youngest unicorn*; and,
• The first Hong Kong-listed internet healthcare company from the Mainland to have recorded revenue of more than RMB10 billion in 2019 (as of the end of that year).
