Celebrate (8212) update
Company announcement, 2-Jul-2020
After Citizens (owned by Oshidori, 0622) on 12-May applied for winding-up in HCCW 95/2020, and after Manivest (appointed by Southwest, 0812) on 13-May applied for interim receivers in HCMP 469/2020, Citizens on 18-May applied to intervene in that case, to be heard on 18-Jun, but on 15-Jun Manivest applied to join HCCW 95/2020 and appoint their choice of liquidators, RSM, so on 18-Jun they withdrew HCMP 469/2020. The liquidation hearing is set for 9-Jul. Meanwhile on 19-Jun, Southwest wrote to the judge regarding the withdrawal, making what Celebrate calls "completely unfounded allegations against the Board… and other parties" and enclosing a chart. In response, the Board now adjourns the EGM requisitioned by Manivest (who have a 64.66% shareholding) to replace the Board which was scheduled for 3-Jul.

Raking muck, Part 6
Concluding our hexalogy, we look at a recent deal by COMG (0254). Existing shareholders were diluted to 2.54% in an acquisition valued at HK$1242m for a business which would need capital of HK$3.6m. We estimate that the vendor has already cashed in about $1812m by selling convertible bonds and shares. We also look at what comes next for COMG, and some unfinished business for the authorities.
