MediLink Therapeutics Taps Major Banks for Hong Kong Float
MediLink Therapeutics Ltd. is preparing to launch an initial public offering in Hong Kong, having secured China International Capital Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley as its lead advisers, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The move comes as the clinical-stage biotech firm seeks to capitalise on growing investor interest in advanced tumour-targeting therapies and consolidate its platform of antibody‑drug conjugates. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Suzhou with R&D operations in Shanghai and Boston, MediLink has developed a proprietary ADC technology known as TMALIN®. The platform facilitates precise delivery of cytotoxic agents to tumour cells, with the intention of widening therapeutic windows for solid tumour treatments. Its pipeline includes programs that have advanced to clinical stages in both China and the United States, supported by a Series B financing round of approximately USD 70 million in 2022. MediLink's strategic engagement of three underwriters reflects heightened confidence in anchor investors and broader syndication. China International Capital Corp. brings deep roots in Chinese capital markets and extensive IPO experience in the biotech sector. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley add global banking heft and access to international investors. ADVERTISEMENT CICC itself is emerging as a top-tier sponsor for Hong Kong listings. It led or co-led 19 IPOs for Chinese corporates last year, raising USD 3.84 billion, positioning it as a dominant force amid market revival. The engagement of internationally renowned banks alongside CICC is likely aimed at boosting MediLink's valuation and widening investor interest both locally and abroad. While IPO details remain confidential, analysts suggest MediLink could seek a valuation in the mid‑to‑high hundreds of millions of dollars. That would reflect both the advanced stage of its pipeline and prevailing market multiples for ADC developers. Comparable biotech flotations in Hong Kong and the U.S. have reflected growing appetite for oncology-focused platforms. Alongside listing ambitions, MediLink continues to advance its clinical and licensing goals. In March it unveiled preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting; earlier in the year it received FDA clearance for its IND application for YL217, its lead candidate. YL201, another programme, received Breakthrough Therapy Designation in January for treatment of recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The company has also pursued strategic licensing agreements with global pharmaceutical firms to expand development and commercialisation capabilities. A licensing deal under discussion ahead of the IPO is believed aimed at enhancing distribution reach while reinforcing MediLink's balance sheet. The IPO effort is part of a broader resurgence in biotech listings in Hong Kong, where authorities have eased regulations to attract innovation-driven offerings. CICC and other banks have ramped up support for ADC and gene therapy companies, signalling a turning point after a lull in listings. ADVERTISEMENT MediLink's choice of banks aligns with a wider trend: CICC has co-sponsored blockbuster floats including the forthcoming mega‑IPO of CATL, while banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also participated. In this context, MediLink is positioning itself to tap both deep domestic networks and international capital. Stakeholder sentiment appears optimistic. MediLink's management team, comprised of co‑founders Tony Xue and Jiaqiang Cai alongside C‑suite leaders experienced in drug development and financial strategy, has overseen steady progress in its ADC pipeline and established global partnerships. Jason Li's appointment as CFO in 2023 reportedly strengthened the company's capital market readiness. Market observers highlight challenges ahead. ADC development remains capital-intensive, clinical risks high, and competition fierce among domestic and international peers. Success will hinge on late‑stage data and licensing traction. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and volatility in Hong Kong equity markets may affect investor sentiment. MediLink must also navigate post‑IPO obligations, including regulatory reporting and corporate governance under Hong Kong's Main Board requirements. Mitigating execution risk will be critical, underscoring the role of its chosen bankers in underwriting diligence and market support. Analysts describe the listing as a pivotal moment: it offers the backing to fund Phase II/III efforts while elevating MediLink's corporate profile. For banks, it reinforces Hong Kong's appeal as a biotech capital market when compared with established centres like Nasdaq. With its IPO process underway, MediLink now awaits market timing and regulatory clearances before formally filing a prospectus. The company is expected to continue advancing clinical data, strengthening licensing ties, and preparing investor materials aligned with regulatory requirements.

UAE's large scale projects signal ambition towards a sustainable economy
The UAE remains buoyant and forward-thinking, with large-scale transformation initiatives signaling the government ambition to create a sustainable economy for citizens and visitors alike, an industry veteran said. 'The UAE's government is strategically deploying investment into sectors that promise long-term value creation, including infrastructure, tourism, clean energy, digital innovation, and advanced logistics — all of which are catalysts for sustainable economic growth,' Phil Malem, CEO Serco Middle East and +impact, said in an interview. In the UAE, non-oil GDP is being buoyed by increased private sector participation and a push toward becoming a global hub for innovation, trade and talent, he added. It is also noteworthy to look at Saudi Arabia, a country which is in the midst of one of the most ambitious economic diversification programmes in the world under Vision 2030. 'Projects like NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Development are not just infrastructure investments; they represent a new economic model based on knowledge, creativity, and future-ready service ecosystems. These megaprojects demand not only advanced service delivery models but also strategic advisory capabilities, and partners who can think, design, and operate at scale. This is where our value proposition is strongest: in delivering outsourced services that are deeply integrated, culturally aligned, and capable of flexing across both the operational and advisory spectrum,' Malem said. Serco has a long established record in the aviation sector, and Malem believes that Dubai's announcement to fully transition airport operations to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) over the next decade marks a pivotal moment in the future of global aviation. 'DWC is not just an airport expansion, it is the foundation of a new aviation ecosystem for the UAE. With a projected capacity of 260 million passengers annually, this is a bold redefinition of what global connectivity, passenger experience, and aviation infrastructure can look like. It will reshape air traffic flows, logistics strategies, and the entire passenger journey across the region,' Malem said. For us at Serco, this is a natural alignment with its capabilities and legacy. 'We have long been embedded in the region's aviation sector (supporting Dubai Airports and Sharjah Airport with multiple different services), from managing complex air traffic control operations to delivering end-to-end airport and passenger services. The DWC transformation presents an opportunity to rethink how airports are operated: how data, automation, and talent can be optimised to meet evolving passenger needs, safety standards, and sustainability goals. It also reinforces the need for a highly skilled, locally grounded workforce, which is why our investments in nationalisation, such as training Emirati air traffic controllers and operational leaders, will continue to scale in line with the country's ambitions,' Malem said. Public-private collaboration remains fundamental to the success of national transformation agendas in the region, the Serco Middle East CEO said. 'Given that many of the region's largest organisations are government-owned or backed, the ability of private sector partners to operate in true alignment with public sector goals is what determines long-term impact. Governments are not just looking for service providers, they are looking for partners who understand the national vision, share their values, and bring both global expertise and local commitment to the table. This is particularly critical in sectors like aviation, transport, defence, and citizen services, where the outcomes affect millions of lives and require long-term strategic thinking,' Malem said. Serco has invested significantly in building a pipeline of local talent, not through box-ticking, but through structured programmes that upskill, train, and provide meaningful, international-standard experience to Emirati and Saudi nationals. 'Collaboration, when built on trust and mutual purpose, becomes a multiplier. It allows us to move faster, operate smarter, and create shared outcomes. In this region, where ambition is high and transformation is constant, public-private partnerships, grounded in capability and integrity, are the engine that will power sustainable progress,' Malem said. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly part of our day-to-day lives, the expectations around customer experience are evolving at an unprecedented pace. 'For companies operating in the UAE and across the GCC, the challenge is twofold: how do you harness cutting-edge technology like AI, while maintaining the empathy and understanding that truly great experiences are built on? I believe the answer lies in blending technological innovation with human insight, which is exactly what we've set out to do through our recently launched company, +impact, Serco's advisory business,' Malem said. Through +impact, Serco is focused on delivering measurable, purpose-driven outcomes. 'One of our core services at +impact is advisory within the customer experience space, and we bring deep expertise in behavioural insight, service design, and user experience, enabling us to map real customer journeys and design solutions that anticipate needs - not just respond to them. It allows us to embed empathy and innovation directly into service delivery, creating experiences that build trust, satisfaction, and long-term loyalty,' Malem said. But AI alone isn't enough. It must be paired with strong human understanding and strategic advisory capability. 'This is where I see this convergence of AI, data, design, and operational excellence as the future of service delivery. We are proud to make an impact across governments and organisations across the region as they lead the way in defining what exceptional, human-centred experiences look like in the digital age,' Malem said.

Nigeria's $5bln oil-backed loan from Aramco delayed by oil price drop, say sources
LAGOS/LONDON/BRUSSELS - Nigeria and Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco are struggling to reach an agreement on a record $5 billion oil-backed loan after a recent decline in crude prices sparked concern among banks that were expected to back the deal, four sources told Reuters. The facility would be Nigeria's largest oil-backed loan to date and Saudi Arabia's first participation of this scale in the country, although the decline in oil price could shrink the size of the deal, the sources said. Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu, two of the sources said, first broached the loan in November when he met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh at the Saudi-African Summit. Details and progress on the loan talks have not been previously reported. The slow progress in discussions reflects the strain of the recent oil price drop, caused largely by a shift in OPEC+ policy to regain market share rather than curtail supply. Brent has fallen about 20% to around $65 per barrel from above $82 in January. A lower oil price means Nigeria could need more barrels to back the loan, but years of under-investment are complicating its ability to meet production goals. Tinubu sought approval for $21.5 billion in foreign borrowing last month to bolster the budget, and the $5 billion oil-backed facility under discussion with Aramco would be part of that, sources said. The banks involved in the talks that are expected to co-fund part of the loan with creditor Aramco have expressed concerns about oil delivery, which has slowed discussions, sources said. Gulf banks and at least one African lender are involved, they added. Reuters could not establish the banks' identities. "It's hard to find anyone to underwrite it," one source said, citing concerns over the availability of the cargoes. Saudi Aramco declined to comment. Nigeria's state-owned oil company NNPC did not comment, and neither did the finance or petroleum ministries. SCARCE OIL Nigeria has years of experience taking out - and repaying - oil-backed loans - which the government uses for budget support, shoring up foreign reserves or to revamp state-owned refineries. At $5 billion, the Aramco loan would be backed by at least 100,000 barrels per day of oil, the sources said. However, it would almost double the roughly $7 billion of oil-backed loans taken in the last five years. Nigeria is using at least 300,000 bpd to repay NNPC's other oil-backed loans, though one facility is expected to be paid off this month. The amount of oil going towards repaying existing oil-backed loans is fixed, but when the crude price falls, it takes longer to repay them. Additionally, lower prices mean the NNPC has to funnel more crude oil to joint-venture partners, from international majors like Shell to local producers like Oando or Seplat, for its portion of operation costs. "You have to either find more oil, or find a way to renegotiate those deals," another source said. Nigerian trading firm Oando is expected to manage the offtake of the physical cargoes, the sources said. Oanda did not comment. NNPC is trying to boost output, while Tinubu issued an executive order aimed at cutting production costs, which would free more money from each barrel. Africa's largest oil exporter assumed a price of $75 per barrel in its budget, with production of 2 million bpd. But in April, it pumped just under 1.5 million bpd, according to the May OPEC market report.
