Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi is looking to raise as much as Bt42 billion $1.36 billion through an initial public offering of its hospitality and retail business amid signs of improved political stability following Thailand's long-delayed general election in March.
The IPO of Asset World Corporation, which started accepting institutional orders on Thursday, could fetch as much as $1.56 billion if a 15% over-allotment option is fully exercised. That would put it third by size on Thailand’s all-time IPO list, behind BTS Mass Transit Growth Infrastructure Fund's $2.1 billion IPO in 2013 and Digital Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund’s $1.8 billion deal in the same year.
