GUANGZHOU, China — Shares of Hong Kong-listed Lenovo closed over 9% higher on Wednesday after the Chinese PC maker said it plans to list stocks in Shanghai. Lenovo shares closed at 8.83 Hong Kong dollars paring earlier gains when the stock went as high as 9.42 Hong Kong dollars. On Tuesday, Lenovo said it had filed a request to the Hong Kong stock exchange, asking them to issue so-called Chinese depositary receipts (CDRs) on the Science and Technology Innovation Board or Star Market of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

They are technically not shares but represent equity interest in a company.
