Viz Branz

Another announcement today (14Dec11) initiated by the IDs to attempt to clear the air of uncertainty following the legal settlement of a dispute between Senior Chng (CKP) and Junior Chng (CBB) on an approx. 15% block of Viz Branz shares.....

Reading in-between the lines, I get a strange feeling that either CKP or CBB has the intention to privatize Viz Branz. What do fellow forumers think?

Junior Chng wants to privatize, Senior Chng not agreeable?

it is a bit confusing. earlier I remembered that the son is supposed to help his father to apply for exemption of making a GO. If the son is not acting in concert with his father, the father must make a GO. Maybe that's why the father thinks that they should be acting in concert according to the settlement agreement? or did the son change his mind about the settlement?

i hope vizbranz don't GO. this is my cashcow..and i often said to a friend who happened to be the son of listed competitor super coffeemix - 'i am happier vested in vizbranz than with super"!..;p

Ask your friend to have Super offer a good price for viz Branz that both father and son cannot resist!
M sure super is keen on viz branz's china biz!

Just checked my bank account and noted a nice credit from this first Interim dividend for FY12. The money has come in handy for the CNY!
