新加坡半导体材料制造商 Mi Material 已启动首次公开募股，拟募资 2.15 亿美元，所得款项将用于拓展美国和马来西亚市场。
Singapore-based semiconductor maker Mi Material has launched a $215 million initial public offering, with proceeds earmarked for expansion into the United States and Malaysia.
该公司周一发行 7750 万股，每股定价 1.80 美元，预计募资约 2.15 亿美元。此次上市是今年新加坡市场规模较大的科技股发行之一。
Singapore-based semiconductor materials maker Mi Material launched a public offering of 77.5 million shares at $1.80 apiece on Monday, aiming to raise roughly $215 million. The listing marks one of the larger technology share sales to reach the Singapore market this year.
公司表示，募集资金将用于进军新市场，包括在美国和马来西亚设立制造和销售业务，以使客户群多元化，不再局限于现有的半导体供应链。高管称，芯片制造商对专用材料的需求持续增长。
The company said proceeds would fund a push into new markets, including manufacturing and sales operations in the United States and Malaysia, as it looks to diversify its customer base beyond existing semiconductor supply chains. Executives said demand from chipmakers for specialised materials has continued to grow.
此次发行增加了新加坡交易所近期一系列科技股上市的案例，交易所官员寻求在银行、房地产信托和航运集团长期主导后，深化交易所的科技板块。新股预计将在发售结束后不久开始交易。
The offering adds to a recent run of technology listings on the Singapore Exchange, as officials there seek to deepen the bourse's tech sector after years dominated by banks, property trusts and shipping groups. Trading in the new shares is expected to begin shortly after the offer closes.
