Hapag-Lloyd extends IPO deadline by a week

GERMAN container shipping group Hapag-Lloyd has extended the offer period for its initial public offering (IPO) by a week to November 3, the company said.

Hapag-Lloyd said it would publish a supplement to the IPO prospectus issued on October 14 in due course, according to media reports.
