A principal underwriting institution that coordinates the global offering within the syndicate, usually several acting jointly. The title is a market description of a role in the syndicate rather than a term defined in the Listing Rules; the Listing Rules and the SFC Code of Conduct define the overall coordinator, and one institution may hold both titles. The prospectus disclosure prevails.
The links above lead to official sources such as HKEX and the SFC. The explanation on this site summarises them and may differ from the official definition; the official documents prevail.
