What we know about the Aspire Global IPO
On May 9, 2022, Aspire Global announced it was cancelling its plans to go public. Originally, it had planned to conduct an IPO on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ASPG.” Altogether, the company was hoping to raise around $120 million USD by offering 15 million stocks at a price of $7.00 – $9.00 each.
US Tiger Securities and EF Hutton (a division of Benchmark Investments, LLC) were slated to act as the lead underwriters of the deal. You can read more about the IPO in this document submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 19, 2022.
The decision to hold off on going public in the US may be connected to newly-introduced security regulations in China. These regulations have affected a number of China-based companies’ plans to go public including Ant Group (owned by Alibaba owner and billionaire, Jack Ma) and TikTok.
