South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix's (KRX:000660) $28.1 billion Nasdaq IPO was oversubscribed "multiple times" ahead of pricing on Thursday, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The valuation is based on the company's Friday closing price of its common shares in Seoul.
The chipmaker began offering about 177.9 million American depositary receipts (ADR) priced at $158.14 per ADR, according to a prospectus filed Monday.
Each ADR represents one-tenth of a common share, according to the report.
SK Hynix declined to comment on the matter when contacted by MT Newswires.
Shares of the company jumped more than 4% in recent trade in Seoul.
