Singapore Paincare Holdings

I think the Q2 gives a good insight on the workings of the BOD.

For e.g., my layman understanding was the more technical stuff (e.g. review financial statements of an "investee company") is done by the management e.g. accountant/CFO, and the BOD is geared more towards strategic matters of the company. 

Well, learning never stops.

"The Board had utilised the due diligence report (both legal and finance), shared by another investor. 

Grant Thornton conducted the financial due diligence. The Board had looked at PuXiang’s financial health through the report. The Board also reviewed PuXiang’s audited financial statements, balance sheets, profit-and-loss statements, and cash flow reports and looked at their trends in revenue growth, profitability, and debt levels"

Good analysis by Dr Wealth on the inherent unfairness and opportunistic nature of the delisting offer.

The structure is self serving red flag not aligned with shareholders... interestingly there are a few like this still listed

"Think about it: two of them shared S$1.804 million, the shareholders shared S$1.965 million, and they now want to buy it back from public shareholders—at a discount to IPO price."

I thought it was amazing of SIAS to use their own methodology to derive a 37cents price. But the more amazing thing appeared when the market responded to it! Or are animal spirits abound in the local bourse?

Singapore Paincare up 12.1% as Sias urges shareholders to await IFA report

The activist for good corporate governance and investor rights says the company could be worth up to S$0.37 a share, more than twice its S$0.16 offer price

“It now wishes to delist at S$0.16 per share when the STI is trading at around 3,900 points... If the same IPO premium were to be applied now, the privatisation price should be around S$0.36 to S$0.37,” Sias said.

I was also surprised that SIAS spoke up this way. If I remembered correctly, many years back, there was this SK Jewellery that got delisted at half the price of its IPO. IPO price was around 30 cts and SK was delisted at 15 cts. Subsequently, they relisted and probably renamed the current Moneymax (same founder and son). If only SIAS spoke up during that time! There were perhaps other listed companies delisted in similar manners.
