EDICO Holdings Limited (EDICO) released a supplemental announcement on 21 April 2026 detailing its previously disclosed joint investment with StarMac Entertainment & Production Limited for a 10% co-organizer interest in a large-scale concert.
The Organizer— a wholly owned subsidiary of Taipei-listed Kwan’s International Co., Ltd (stock code: 6101)—has set the concert’s total budget at HK$78.00 million. Artist performance fees comprise the largest cost component, while the remaining expenditure covers media promotion, photography, staffing, insurance, supplies and other standard operational items. EDICO’s directors consider the budget to be on normal commercial terms.
EDICO maintains an internal policy to cap any individual entertainment commitment at HK$7.50 million, preserving liquidity for its core financial-printing business. Under the Concert Joint Investment Agreement, Voice Production (a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDICO) and StarMac agreed to a 96:4 allocation of the economic benefits and obligations attached to the 10% co-organizer stake. The Investment Sum will be funded entirely by EDICO’s internal resources.
Risk mitigation features include: • Full ticket sell-out confirmed, supporting projected revenue. • StarMac’s irrevocable warranty to refund the entire Investment Sum, protecting EDICO’s capital irrespective of the concert’s final financial outcome.
The Organizer holds final decision-making authority over all concert matters and, together with its ultimate beneficial owners, is independent of EDICO and its connected persons.
EDICO’s board views the investment as commercially viable and aligned with prudent risk management parameters while broadening the Group’s exposure to the entertainment sector.
