CHINA Construction Bank raised 58.05 billion yuan (US$7.72 billion) in its nine-billion share initial public offering in Shanghai - the biggest IPO on the Chinese mainland, the lender reported yesterday.

Retail investors oversubscribed the yuan-backed offering about 40 times and institutional investors 34 times.



The Beijing-based bank sold its A shares at 6.45 yuan apiece, at the upper limit of an offer price range that started at 6.15 yuan, the bank said late yesterday in a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.



The bank received orders for 255.3 billion shares from retail investors. Institutional investors bid 614 billion yuan for the shares.



The bank drew offers totaling 2.26 trillion yuan from both groups of investors.



The lender decided to offer 6.3 billion shares, or 70 percent of the total, to individual investors, up from a previously planned 65 percent due to the heavy retailsubscription. "We estimated the bank would attract about 2.2 trillion yuan from retail and institutional investors," said She Minhua, a China Securities Co analyst.



Construction Bank's share sale surpassed an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China IPO to become the mainland's biggest.



ICBC accomplished the world's largest IPO by raising US$19.1 billion in October in a dual listing in Hong Kong and Shanghai. It raked in 46.6 billion yuan in the Shanghai portion.

The new shares will account for up to 3.85 percent of the lender's enlarged stake.



The bank's H shares closed at HK$6.84 (88 US cents) yesterday, down 0.44 percent.
