Hi jacmar, just curious If Liu qiang was selling why wasn't there any announcement of change of % of ssh? Many thanks for the EGM info.

Excellent question. Under the deal Liu Qiang was entitled to 119.37million shares. CMHP total shares is about 1033 million and increasing due to the CB conversion. However only 1/3 was issued to them only under the agreement and 1/3 lock up for 6 mths and last 1/3 for 12 mths. This means their 1st tranche is about 4% which is below the 5% threshold, hence no need to report transactions. when the next tranche comes along 6mths later, the 1st tranche is probably all sold.

Wow, gd learning point here.. Quite funny rules thou, I was thinking even if their shares are "lock up" for 1 year, shares are still technically theirs since they should be still receiving dividends for their 2/3 lock up shares.

I don't think this is true - http://infopub.sgx.com/FileOpen/_eFORM3V...eID=314626 - LQ received the full 11.79% stake post completion of the Juirui acquisition.

China aims to sooth transport bottlenecks by 2020

[BEIJING] China aims to ease transport bottlenecks which are affecting economic development by 2020 with a plan announced on Saturday to tackle issues such as excessive road tolls and poor connectivity and to ensure the smoother flow of goods.

Despite billions of dollars being invested in recent years on roads, railways and ports, China's rapid economic growth has meant that transport facilities still easily clog up, raising the cost of doing business.

Last year, logistics costs made up 18 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), roughly double that of the developed world and higher even than Brazil or India, with a fractured industry made up of too many small players and lack of modern warehousing, the central government said in a statement on its website. "Infrastructure is comparatively backward and cannot satisfy the demands of the development of modern logistics," it said, outlining a plan running to 2020 to deal with the problem.

Previously announced steps such as trying to rein in excessive tolls and penalties have failed to be fully effective, affecting the movement of goods within the country, the government added.

Added some shares at 89c today. Counter party 47 was on the sell side.

[greengiraffe]

Counter party 47 is likely to be direct access foreign broker that professional traders used for passing the trade. Likely to be UBS (please correct me if I m wrong).

Through my accumulation over my last 2 months been meeting instinet, GS, UBS, MS, CSFB, BOA-ML and CLSA - literally most foreign broker.
