<li>In this insight, we summarized NWD’s FY2023 results.  We think the gearing and balance sheet, the biggest concern that market has, has been clearly addressed</li>
<li>NWD has announced disposal of its stake in NWS, and will have more corporate actions to come.  The dividend expectation is reset</li>
<li>We view most of the negatives are priced in at current valuation.  NWD is much better than a Chinese developer, and should not be trading at 0.19x PB</li>

Last month, a Cheng family vehicle with 24.06% of Giordano (709 HK), requisitioned an SGM to remove CEO Peter Lau, and install Colin Currie as CEO, plus three other NEDs/INEDs.
That SGM will be held on the 3rd April. The director resolutions - both the removal and appointments - are "ordinary", requiring a simple majority vote. 
The outcome will likely pivot off how the shareholders under Halcyon Securities will vote. So I dug a little deeper as to who these shareholders are, with some surprising results.
