Ahead of Shanghai Henlius Biotech (2696 HK)'s EGM and Court Meeting on the 22 January, the focus has shifted to Loyal Valley Capital (LVC)'s continued buying in the market.
After the close of market last Friday, LVC held 7.8295%, above the 7.826% blocking stake. That % was as at 9th January. I assume LVC are still buying.
Yet if you analyse how LVC has traded in and out of Henlius, they are not in it to block. They're in for the back-end scrip option.
