Gushan Environmental Energy Limited (NYSE: GU) has filed to sell up to $100 million in ordinary shares, which it notes as having a HK$0.0001 par value (HONG KONG). This notes that selling shareholders are selling ADS’s, with each share representing 2 ordinary shares.
This is an unspecified number of shares but based upon a closing price of $11.78 (-6.5% today) of nearly 8.5 million shares. Gushan will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The underwriting group here is rather large for a $100 million secondary offering. Merrill Lynch is the lead underwriter; co-managers are listed as Oppenheimer, Piper Jaffray, and as Ardour Capital Investments.
Gushan is supposed to be the largest biodiesel producer in China as measured by annual production capacity with a target of annual production capacity to 400,000 tons by the end of 2008.
Shares are down 0.5% at $11.72 in after-hours trading and the market cap as of the close was $982 million. Gushan has only been public since December 2007 and it traded under $10.00 at the open. Its post-IPO trading range since the IPO has been $7.00 to $17.95.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
