If the quarter figure has been good, minority shareholders will ask for more. Of course it has not been doing well recently after many quarters of goodness. But Sim believe in cyclic so we need to assume the business will come back. Wink

btw i cannot fully comprehend the logic of de-listing will improve operation since he already has firm control of the company.
Minority shareholder cannot change his decisions anyway so I am not sure answering shareholders queries will impact how he is going to run the business. Care to enlighten ?

One important point to note for listed companies i.e. all corporate actions are subjected to public (not necessary only the shareholders) scrutinization, and formal procedures. The companies gain liquidity and ease of capital raising with the chores.

The same logic for the privatization of Dell not too long ago. Mr. Dell decision is right, at least one year after went private.

Will Osim fares better as a private company? Well, Mr. Sim is betting on that obviously...

Well if is de-listed, how does it help in raising liquidity since there won't be any liquidity. As private or public, raising fund ? Company like Dell is Cash rich. One year is too short to tell for Dell that time it was reported. Neither am I sure DELL is doing much better than before now since is now private. I do continue to see competitors like HP and Lenova getting bigger market shares since.

Yes, scrutiny and maybe formal procedure of it. Will this impact his decision or structuring of operation  ?

Notwithstanding that I am skeptical of Osim, it is usually the norm that before a takeover from OPMI the PnL are usually weak. Conversely to IPO a company and raise money from OPMI, the PnL is usually strong

I'm sure people will be stoning me on questioning auditors and accountants. I'm not... it's people are mistaken in their assumption. Like I always say, the accounting figures are a pale reflection of reality but people assume they are reality itself. They trust numbers rather than look at how over time the business is doing, even though these numbers are 4 snapshots out of 365 days.

For those old enough you will remember that SIP has been bleeding money when Singapore was a 65% majority holder. After Singapore reduced to 35% ownership SIP immediately turned profitable after 7 years of losses and became such a success that LKY went to commemorate the 10th (?) anniversary touting it as a success between Singapore and China government.

And maybe another clarification on the nomenclature: delisting does not necessarily mean private company. It is possible to be an unlisted public company with more than 50 shareholders.

OSIM International, which was delisted from the Singapore Exchange last August, has re-emerged as V3 which is seeking a listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

In a filing on Wednesday, V3 is described as an Asian luxury group in lifestyle and wellness business. Its management team is headed by Singapore's Ron Sim, who is also Osim's founder, executive chairman and chief executive officer.

Is a surprise but not surprise. All the while i doubt his de-list motives or reasoning.

Listing on the HKExch does fetch a better valuation than that on SGX where many companies are trading at below NAV!  Like that SGX will shrink further going forward!
