New World China (0917) privatisation fails on headcount testDomiciles of HK-listed companies
Company announcement, 16-Jun-2014
Holders of 0.13% of the float, but a majority of voters, vetoed the scheme. This again illustrates the need for the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, where 75% of HK-listed companies are incorporated, to follow HK by scrapping the headcount test and enacting the 10% objection rule from the HK Takeover Code which allows one tenth of the independent shares to veto an offer. Still, the offer was at a 32.5% discount to NAV, so it's hard to feel sorry for New World Development.

Post-service Employment of Civil Servants
Watching the Leung Chin Man case, we discovered that the not-so-public register of approved employment of ex-senior civil servants is only available offline, and entries are "unpublished" as soon as people quit. This must be the only government in the world which tries to make official secrets out of public documents rather than vice versa. To improve transparency, we are now putting the register online, along with annual reports of the advisory committee from 1990 to 2003. (8-Oct-2009)
