Global investment banks and brokerages leading SK Hynix's mega share sale earned nearly $260 million in fees, a boost for the industry which took in a relatively modest $500 million from SpaceX's record share sale last month.
The fees equate to about 0.97% of the total amount raised, SK Hynix's filings showed, meaning bankers earned more as a percentage of deal size than those who worked on SpaceX's initial public offering.
