China Tower Corp., the state-owned wireless infrastructure owner, raised $6.9 billion after pricing its Hong Kong initial public offering at the low end of a marketed range, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The Beijing-based company sold 43.1 billion shares at HK$1.26 apiece in the IPO, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The shares were marketed at HK$1.26 to HK$1.58 each, according to an earlier exchange filing.
