Similar to the government's previous divestment in September 2000, there is likely to be one financial advisor (the booby prize) and either two to three global co-ordinators (league table eligibility and larger fees). All three of the bookrunners from the original HK$9.4 billion ($1.2 billion) IPO - Goldman Sachs, HSBC and UBS Warburg have been shortlisted as global co-ordinators, as has Merrill Lynch, which acted as government advisor last time round.
