Leading with his Chim
Article Abstract:
Wai Yick minority stockholder Chim Pui Chung countered controlling stockholder Tan Pee Cee's offer for a HK$200 million dilutive rights issue at HK$1.75 each. Chim counterbid at HK$4, provided stockholders vote against the issue of dilutive rights. Tan gained control of Wai Yick in 1991, when Chim sold 27.4% of shares. Within a year, corporate stock prices dropped from HK$5.50 to HK$2. Although Chim was successful in holding off Tan's plans, the question of Wai Yick's corporate independence will remain until an investigation is mounted.
