Very obvious , cheng family wants to take private;
Old man cheng is always a typical Chinese businessman.
He refuse to borrow from bank, refuse to take in talents from outside of his family, a hand-on man. With 85% , why should he spend on listing costs, paying director fees to 3 IDs, listing fee to SGX , printing of ARs, keep a share registrar, hold AGMs facing public scrutiny and sometimes unreasonable SHs........ etc. all this too costly for a small company like Hai Leck , he finds it too troublesome and meaningless for his biz operation.
Perhaps, if he finds all these extras are not adding value to his biz.

Delisting offer, if any, likely to be 26c...same as IPO price. But why delist when they can issue warrants, use the money and buy over other companies? There are more benefits to being listed than unlisted in the kind of industry they are operating in.

Even the cheng family also want to underwrite the warrant by themselves, they do not need a bank .

The chairman has indicated before that listed status matters in bidding for larger contracts. Not sure whether Hai Leck, with its two recent EPC contract wins, is entrenched enough to bid as a unlisted entity now.

ya, the trading volume for Hai Leck is considered "high" by its own context.,If the privatised price is 26c , it is a premium of 30%, no so bad la.

Cons= More for smaller outfit.
