HONG KONG, Jan 26, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Ulferts International Limited ("Ulferts" or "the Group", Stock Code: 1711.HK), a well-known furniture retailer in Hong Kong, today announced the allotment results of its share offering (the "Share Offering").

Ulferts offered a total of 200 million new shares, initially comprising 180 million shares for share placing and 20 million shares for Hong Kong public offering. Due to significant over-subscription of 1,639 times in the public offering, a total of 80 million shares have been re-allocated from the share placing to the public offering.

The offer price has been fixed at HK$0.56 per share, within an upper band of the indicative offer price range. As such, the net proceeds from the Share Offering after deducting underwriting fees and other listing related expenses is estimated to be approximately HK$92.9 million.

Mr. Ricky Ng, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer of Ulferts, said, "The overwhelming response to our Share Offering has demonstrated investors' confidence about Ulferts' growth strategies and long-term prospects. We aim to solidify our market position by continuously expanding our presence in Hong Kong and diversifying into mid-end segment, and ultimately bringing good returns to our shareholders."
