The investment banking team involved in the SK Hynix listing project will receive hefty commissions of over a hundred million dollars. The South Korean chip giant, with a market value surpassing one trillion dollars, is set to debut on the US stock market, with this IPO expected to rank among the largest in history. Two individuals familiar with the transaction revealed that investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Citigroup underwriting this Nasdaq stock offering could potentially earn a total commission pool exceeding 140 million dollars. The commission is comprised of two parts: a 0.5% basic underwriting fee based on the total fundraising amount, and a floating incentive bonus separate from SK Hynix's payment. The prospectus indicates that Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase will serve as the lead underwriters for the South Korean chip company's secondary listing on Nasdaq, with the fundraising size estimated at around 28 billion dollars. SK Hynix is scheduled to officially commence trading in New York this Friday.
