Under the requirements of the Amended Mongolian Banking Law (Feb 2021), Khan Bank (KHAN MO) needed to IPO. It did, and HS Holdings (8699 JP)'s stake fell to 49.77%. 
It was de-consolidated. They were locked up for 6mos. The look-through financials are easier now. The company has bought back stock and trades at &lt;0.5x book.
But the Mongolian Banking Law required one more thing. All D-SIBs had to get all shareholders below 20% by 31 December 2023. It's not clear that happened.

<li>This is a big deal. The IPO is for 10% of the bank (US$521mm equivalent). Priced at 4x Dec 2022 earnings for a bank which has ~ 25% ROE.</li>
<li>There is a reason to expect substantial realisation of this value within 2023 due to a section of Feb 2021 Amended Mongolian Banking Law. Plus there is boatloads of cash.</li>
