Gaming company seeks fund infusion

Despite the Hong Kong stock market showing signs of strain, a Chinese mainland game distributor has bucked the trend, rekindling local equity investors' enthusiasm for a promising newcomer.

Tencent-backed iDreamSky Technology Holdings has put the finishing touches to a planned initial public offering in Hong Kong to bankroll its vision of being a newly-minted tech superstar and the flagbearer of China's burgeoning entertainment industry.

Known for its distribution of a broad range of blockbuster overseas titles including Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Subway Surfers and Temple Run, the company is making its IPO launch as it enters the mobile games sector.
