Fosun Pharma seals rare H-share placement

The privately-held drug maker raised $296 million from a fully-upsized placement of new H-shares, marking just the second time in nearly three years that a Hong Kong-listed company has sold new shares through a block sale.

Shanghai Fosun Pharma, the pharmaceutical unit of the highly-acquisitive Chinese conglomerate Fosun Group, took advantage of a strong rally in its stock price to raise HK$2.3 billion ($296 million) from a placement of H-shares on Tuesday night.
