Well done! A far better use of spare cash would be to buy back shares, which trade around an 85% discount to net asset value of $1.07 per share. The deal came just months after a deep discount rights issue raised $42m.

Sanction of Lisi (0526) but not any of its directors
SEHK, 19-Jul-2023
Somehow the company managed to repeatedly break the listing rules all by itself. The Exchange sent 3 earlier private warning letters from 2014-2016, so we wonder how often they keep the dirt private rather than make the market look even worse (which it is). The Exchange is for-profit, after all.

| PYI announcement
Company announcement, 13-Apr-2021
Imagi and PYI are 19.08% and 28.53% owned by Oshidori (0622) but technically this is not a Connected Transaction under the Listing Rules for either company because neither is an "associate" (30% owned) by Oshidori (a connected person of both). All 3 companies are in what we call the "Chung Nam Network".
