Power Assets (0006) independent shareholders veto loans to parent
Company announcement, 14-May-2015
They called it the purchase of "connected debt securities" but it amounts to lending money to the parent, which is never a good idea. It was close though, no doubt after a lot of lobbying.

Alibaba's spotlight on HK regulation
10 years after the Expert Group report, Alibaba's requests spotlight the unresolved conflict of interests of HKEx between profit and regulation, creating an opportunity for Government to put this back on the agenda. They should now follow through, strip HKEx of its regulatory role, create a Listings and Takeovers Authority under the SFC, and remove the special provisions of HKEx's own constitution which make it a Government-controlled company.

Cheung Kong (0001) agrees to unwind sale of Apex Horizon hotel units
| CKH announcement
SFC, 13-May-2013
Interestingly it says "the letter will require purchasers to sign a cancellation agreement and return it within 10 days". And what if the purchaser doesn't want to? Does CKH have any legal power to "require" cancellation?

SFC's neighbours will celebrate
The SFC, to the relief of fellow tenants, is reportedly set to move out of Chater House in June 2013. We ask why the police and their masters have been so reluctant to enforce the Noise Control Ordinance against protestors, and what tenants and passers by at their reported new home can look forward to. The landlord, controlled by HK's biggest tycoon, has 7 listed companies and 2 REITs in the group, all ultimately regulated by the SFC, so there is a risk of future perceived conflicts of interest which it would have been better to avoid.

Out of Sight
Have you ever wondered why Cheung Kong (Holdings) owns 49.9% of Hutchison Whampoa and not a fraction more? Back in Feb-97, CKH stated its intention to increase its holding beyond 50% as soon as possible. Webb-site.com looks at the structuring regularly used by the pair, which puts their development projects off-balance sheet and outside the scope of certain rules on connected transactions. Out of sight, and out of mind - it is high time the Stock Exchange closed the loophole. (29-May-2001)

Cheung Kong's Drilling for Oil Street
With the controversy over the award of the Cyber-port project still echoing, the Government has backed away from plans to award a cruise terminal project to Cheung Kong. But the company is still pressing the Government for the same piece of land and claiming that it is for the benefit of struggling artists. Pass the hat round while we explain the real strategy behind the Oil Street project. (12-Jan-2000)
