Back on the 2 June, small-cap fashion wear retailer ENM Holdings (128 HK) received a delisting Offer from major shareholder, Chinachem, at HK$0.58/share, in cash.
The Scheme Doc is now out after thrice being delayed. The EGM/Court Meeting will be held on the 26 September with expected payment around the 14 November. 
There's a whiff of opportunism embedded in the Offer. But being loss-making and illiquid, I'd expect the vote to still get up.
