Global Ship Lease not floating after all
Global Ship Lease has cancelled its planned initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company wanted to raise $350 million to purchase and then charter containerships back to France’s CMA CGM, the world’s third-largest container line.
The company made the U-turn due to what it sees as unfavorable market conditions. A future IPO could still be on the cards as the firm said it will monitor the financial markets going forward and its registration statement on Form F-1 for the IPO remains on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
