A new factoid about the merger between the Shin Kong Financial Holding (2888 TT) and Taishin Financial Holding (2887 TT) merger of FHCs came to my notice last week.
There is withholding tax on a portion of the Taishin shares to be received. The last day of trading will be 11 July 2025. Expect repercussions.
This week will see multiple index events, combined with the risk arb events, and the WHT may affect how passive investors trade the events.
