China Metal Recycling (ex-0773) v UBS AG
| Companies (Winding-up) Rules
HK Court of First Instance, 20-Jul-2022
Oops! Paragraphs of the liquidators' writ against sponsor UBS are struck out, because under High Court Rules for companies winding up, the claims should have been made by summons, not writ. The obvious question is: why didn't the solicitors, Karas LLP, advise their client of this? Notably the writ was filed only a day before the 6th anniversary of liquidators' appointment, after which the claim would be time-barred. Now the question is whether the Summons will be time-barred.

SFAT allows review for Henry Cai Hongping
| SFAT ruling
SFC, 4-Jun-2021
The tribunal concludes that it was "as likely as not" that Mr Cai was appointed as the team Principal for the doomed IPO of China Metal Recycling, and contradictory reports from UBS suggest it could also have been Michael Ngai Ming Tak, who also denied it. The standard of proof, namely the balance of probabilities, was not met.

SFC fines China Merchants Securities HK$27m for sponsor failures
SFC, 27-May-2019
As we predicted in March when UBS was fined but one of its clients was not named, this relates to the IPO of China Metal Recycling, listed in 2009 and ordered in 2015 to be wound up. The IPO was jointly sponsored by UBS and China Merchants Securities.

Over the IPOs of China Forestry in 2009 (now delisted), Tianhe Chemicals (1619) in 2014 and a third as-yet unnamed listing application, which is almost certainly China Metal Recycling (Holdings) Ltd, listed in 2009 and ordered in 2015 to be wound up.

SFC suspends ex-China Merchants Securities RO Wu Yinong for 18 months
SFC, 27-Feb-2019
The firm only sponsored 2 IPOs in 2009, so this almost certainly relates to China Metal Recycling (Holdings) Ltd. In 2015, the SFC obtained a court order to wind it up. The other sponsor was UBS AG. We note that Mr Wu is still an INED of Jiu Rong (2358), a member of the "Enigma Network".

SFC obtains court order to wind up China Metal Recycling (0773)
SFC, 26-Feb-2015
...and there goes HK$11.09bn of market capitalisation - it will be interesting to see how much of the last reported net assets of $7.10bn (30-Jun-2012) the liquidators are able to find. It's fairly safe to say that the sponsors, UBS and China Merchant Securities, are going to face an investigation by the SFC.

China Metal Recycling (Holdings) Ltd v Chun Chi Wai & others
HK Court of First Instance, 9-Apr-2014
Judge Louis Chan states: "In the light of the HK$822,900,000 received by the defendants since the end of 2009, this disclosure of assets at HK$99,886,000 is incredible. That means the defendants had “used, spent or disposed of” about HK$200 million per year, or over half a million a day." He orders disclosure of what has happened since the Mareva injunction on 30-Jul-2013, but not a tracing order for earlier disposals.
