<li>Tam Jai's performance in recent years has been consistently below expectations. Its fundamentals have undergone negative changes after IPO. Consumers’ preference change may disrupt Tam Jai's business model.</li>
<li>Based on our forecast and the Cancellation Price of HK$1.58/share, P/E will be higher than the industry average. Considering the low trading liquidity and concerns on outlook, HK$1.58/share is acceptable.</li>
<li>The fundamentals/prospects of Tam Jai are different from the situation of Henlius' privatization.We recommend investors not reject the privatization easily because internationalization won’t bring significant positive changes in short term.</li>

After Goldlion (533 HK)'s spectacular Scheme fail, Soundwill  (878 HK) appeared destined to be the next failure as shares dipped hard ahead of the Scheme vote. And fail it did.
Just like for Goldlion, Soundwill's Offer was clearly light. The counter-argument was that terms were, arguably, as good as it gets. And no competing Offer would emerge. Minorities voiced otherwise.
Hong Kong has been the proverbial graveyard for arb deals of late. However, in a positive sense, minorities in Goldlion and Soundwill simply rejected opportunistic Offers.
