Sanction of Mr King Pak Fu, ex-Chairman of Carnival (0996)
SEHK, 21-Mar-2023
For failing to co-operate with an investigation by the Listing Division, this being the rational choice for someone who expects never to be on a listed company board again.
Planetree (0613) coughs up ownership structure of borrower on 3rd attempt
Company announcement, 12-Oct-2022
5 listed companies currently in what we call the "Chung Nam Network" have indirect stakes in Freeman Opto Money Lending Corp Ltd, via a cross-holding pair of Marshall Islands vehicles. They include Carnival (0996), suspended since Mar-2020, which never previously identified its 2017 investment in FreeOpt Holdings Ltd, China Smarter Energy (1004), suspended since Apr-2021, and National Investments Fund (1227), delisted last month.
Carnival (0996): 4 directors who opposed winding-up to pay costs of proceedings
HK Court of First Instance, 6-Oct-2022
"As the directors never approached the immigration bondholders (to whom HK$1.155 billion was owed) to discuss or obtain their in-principle agreement to restructure the debts owed to them, it is difficult to see how they could come to the view that the Company should oppose the Petition on the ground that a restructuring proposal in respect of all its indebtedness would be implemented if given time to do so."
Carnival (0996): winding-up order
HK Court of First Instance, 29-Aug-2022
Webb-site warned investors about this company in 2016, calling it a bubble stock, with a market cap of HK$15.08bn. The judge notes that amongst the outstanding debts of CNY 7.6bn are offshore bonds issued to "immigration bondholders" to fulfil the requirements for immigration to HK under the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, which was suspended on 15-Jan-2015.
Hiding behind the cornerstones
Webb-site reveals that investors who took 31% of a bank IPO had secretly laid off their risk by issuing derivatives to a mainland property developer from the same city, via two HK-listed companies which incidentally are bubble stocks. When we complained, HKEX did not require disclosure of the bank’s identity, thereby preserving the secrecy behind the cornerstone investors which facilitate HKEX’s IPO business. Once again, the regulatory conflict of interest is exposed. (3-Oct-2016)
China Inno Fin (0412) belatedly details investments at 31-Mar-2016
Company announcement, 13-Jul-2016
This follows a complaint by Webb-site to SEHK. The firm held 9.95% of China Smarter Energy (1004), 4.49% of Huarong (0993) and 1.34% of Carnival (0996), as well as having sunk HK$340.8m into Joint Global Ltd, the newest unlisted hub in what we call the "Chung Nam Network". It provides no details of this significant investment, which in our view should have been announced when made. This was in fact a share swap of 56.8m shares of HEC Capital Ltd for the same number of shares of JG valued at $6 each.
