Based on previous experienced, the tax rate will be cut after negotiation, Leung said. | 香港財經事務及庫務局副局長梁鳳儀日前表示，香港與不少國家簽署了避免雙重征稅的協議，而稅務局已與意大利展開有關商討，并將會進行下一輪討論。根據以往的經驗，股息預扣稅稅率一般也可以降低。 |

Old holdings made up 86 percent of the offering, with 72 percent owned by Prada family and the remaining 28 percent owned by Italian Intesa Sanpaolo Bank. With an offering price set at HK$39.5, the Prada family and Intesa Sanpaolo were able to cash out HK$10.35 billion （US$1.32 billion）and HK$4.02 billion (US$510 million) respectively. | 普拉達此次上市的保薦人為高盛及里昂。普拉達這次共發行約4.23億股，募集資金約167億港元。其中86%為舊股，而舊股中的72%全部來自普拉達家族持有的母公司，其余則由另一股東意大利圣保羅(Intesa Sanpaolo)銀行售出。根據最終定價39.5港元，母公司及圣保羅銀行各自套現103.5億及40.2億港元。 |
