Oatly, the Blackstone-backed vegan milk company which on Monday filed to float on Nasdaq, said it would consider adding a listing in Hong Kong within the next two years, citing its relationship with a Chinese state-owned conglomerate.
China Resources owns more than 60 per cent of the Swedish group through a joint venture with the Belgian family investment group Verlinvest and has helped the company to dramatically expand its presence in China in recent years.
In a prospectus for its Nasdaq share offering, Oatly said it could seek a second listing in Hong Kong if its status as a US public company had a “material adverse effect” on its leading shareholders.
