A Private Placement Agreement is a crucial document used when a company wishes to raise capital by offering securities to a limited number of selected investors without conducting a public offering. In the Hong Kong context, this document must comply with the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) and related regulations, particularly regarding professional investor exemptions and safe harbor provisions. The agreement typically includes detailed terms of the offering, investor qualifications, subscription procedures, representations and warranties, and various protective provisions for both the issuer and investors. It's commonly used by companies seeking efficient capital raising while avoiding the more stringent requirements of a public offering, and is particularly popular among growth-stage companies, real estate investment vehicles, and investment funds operating in Hong Kong and the broader Asian market.
