Peak Sports, a retailer backed by venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, raised HK$1.72 billion ($221 million) in its Hong Kong initial public offering, according to a source with direct knowledge of the deal.

Peak sold 419 million shares at HK$4.10 per share, and the offer was more than 20 times over subscribed, said the source, who was not authorised to speak publicly about the IPO.
