$22m contract need to announce? Not even 10% of annual revenue!

Shareholders should hope that this is not 'national service' without a good margin at the end of the day.

Kingsmen Creatives will convene their AGM tomorrow. Amongst other things, the Board is seeking a ~ 10% increase in Director Fees/compensation.

At the risk of being a tad provocative ...........

I have just had a look at the comparative share price performance of Kingsmen, Pico Far East and City Neon. As an example, since 1.1.2016 (i.e. over the last ~ 28 months) .....

- the market cap of Kingsmen Creatives has dropped by ~ 20%.
+ the market cap of City Neon is today > 3.5 times what it was 28 months ago, CityNeon now has a market cap more than twice that of Kinsgmen. No rights issues, just share price appreciation.
+ the market cap of Pico Far East has increased more than 40%. Pico is now almost 6 (six) times the market cap of Kingsmen as compared to only (about) 3 times bigger three years ago. And contrary to Kingsmen’s dividend reductions in recent years, I cannot complain about Pico’s attention to their shareholder’s dividends.

I submit that Kingsmen, once a VB forummers darling, is now a competitive laggard - have the Board and Senior Management lost their competitive edge?, have they allowed themselves to be disrupted by smarter managements who had a superior, more fit-for-the-current-times business model (e.g. City Neon)?, have Kingsmen’s most Senior management been too distracted by construction of their new HQ?

Is the Board doing its job? That’s enough questions from me. Food for thought?

Vested in Kingsmen and Pico, regrettably not City Neon

Interesting to observe that at today’s AGM, Resolutions 9, 10, 11 & 12 were not passed so easily. These were the resolutions pertaining to Kingsmen’s Performance Share Scheme and specific share awards to Executive Directors Soh and Ong. There was more than a 29% (twenty-nine percent) vote against share allotments under the scheme and moreover the proposed Share Awards to Messrs Soh and Ong. I hope that this sends a constructively strong message to Kingsmen’s Board of Directors - it would send a positive message back to Kingsmen’s shareholders if, in light of the weighty percentage level of no votes, Messrs Soh and Ong announced that they would forego their share awards, cognisant of Kingsmen’s recent competitive performance. While their past contributions have been significant and valued, they have presided over a recent period of material erosion of Kingsmen’s competitive position.

This year, after some thought, I abstained my shares on these four resolutions. If the malaise continues ...... then next year I’ll be voting against as well.

Regards, RBM

i concur!!
By awarding themselves shares frequently (year in year out) without adding much value to shareholders, they are diverting their interest alignment with minority shareholders.

can defer the dividend and just keep adding shares to themselves until times when it is ready for them to offer low ball!!??
i hope that is not the case, but it has been times and again that such practices become rather norm (at least in sgx).

why not just get the money (salary) and buy from market?
