City Developments Ltd (CDL): The property developer said in a bourse filing on Wednesday that its sale of 85 strata lots, including 2 car parks, that it owns at Tanglin Shopping Centre to Hillthorpe Investments will likely result in significant gains for the company.
Japfa: Japfa’s milk-producing business in China, AustAsia Investment Holdings, has applied for its listing in Hong Kong, which will result in two separately run entities with more flexibility and better focus to grow their respective businesses.
As part of the IPO, existing Japfa shareholders will receive a distribution of AIH shares in specie, potentially resulting in Japfa shareholders holding shares worth more than what Japfa shares are trading at now.
