John Dough, TTB must justify to shareholders what specific criteria that were met when iCapital invested in Air Asia 'AA'. What are specific triggers set to monitor AA, with corresponding Actions to be taken when situation unfolds? Be positive and answer to the point. Not another Parkson or Boustead.

cnman53's comments on judicial review and institutional investors are totally illogical and silly. Just because they are institutional investor, does that mean that they can willfully break the law ? Imagine someone comes to your house all the time and take whatever they like, knowing full well that it is a wrongful act. If you keep quiet and do nothing, you are either (1) a colluder, or (2) a coward, or (3) a senile, or (4) irresponsible person. Any reasonable person would report to the police.

Shareholders, does it mean that iCapital does not seem to have a independent line of communication to us, all. No email or no iindependent nvestor relationship?
Is it a correct procedure, in the interest of shareholders, that questions on AGM be sent via email to "enquiries@cdam.biz", as stated in the admininstrative guide document?
iCapital has paid for administrative services. The Administrator is TMF Administrative Services Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

KKG10Y,本来公司章程的173条款是说董事部需在2020年(就是第15周年)大会上提呈普通议案寻求是否延长自动清盘日期5年至2025年。不过在2016年第十二届大会上已经通过修改173条款,董事部只在2025年大会上才需要提呈延长5年的动议。所以股东们要擦亮双眼,多多关注公司动态。

Board of Directors


Ideally

Boards are supposed to represent shareholders.
Board members should view their directorship as a responsibility.
Board investigations into misdeeds are reliable.


Often

Boards do not represent shareholders. There is a symbiotic relationship with CEOs.
Board members often view their directorship as a perk. Insurance and other protections insulate boards from liability.
When boards have to investigate something, it is like asking them to admit their own incompetence.

To Tan Teng Boo, the Asian values of integrity, independence and intelligence are the most important. The letter by City of London is a clear testament of the foreign fund’s lack of integrity. By giving such superficial reasons for the opposition of Resolution 4, the foreign fund makes a mockery out of the other 3,400 share owners.

Tan Teng Boo sincerely calls upon the City of London to urgently revise and substantially improve their standards of corporate governance. Share owners are still not able to make an informed decision. Over the past two weeks, Teng Boo has held roadshows across Malaysia and Singapore to educate fellow share owners on long term investing and his analysis of current economic and market scenarios. All costs involved in the roadshows were borne by Capital Dynamics with absolutely no cost whatsoever to icapital.biz Berhad.

Only after reading fairplay's comment that I realize that Board Chairman Datuk Ng Peng Hay has resigned. Datuk Ng's resignation was announced on Nov 24, merely 4 days before the coming AGM. No reason was cited.

https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3107685

To recap, this is the third board member resignations this year. The first was announced on Feb 24 this year by Madam Leong So Seh, citing personal and health issues. In fact, Mdm Leong was only re-elected just 5 months earlier in Sep 2019.

https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3026283

The second resignation was by Datin Siah Li Mei on Aug 3 this year, citing health issue. Datin Siah only joined the board in July 2019.

https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3074128

Could it be a coincidence? I note the dual listing project expenses of RM6.68 million first came to light in the quarterly report of Feb 29, 2020, in a one-line mention on page 14.

So can board members resign when they want to? The answer is yes⁠—except when they can’t.

In the worst-case situation where you know something is happening that hurts your shareholders, you are duty-bound to protect your shareholders and not abandon them… at least that’s what the Delaware court opinions suggest.

Just wondering why the spate of resignations of directors from iCap.

The timing of the previous Chairman's resignation is most unfortunate. He should have announced his resignation on a date after the AGM. He should have conducted the AGM as before. Many of the existing shareholders have supported and have faith in the Chairman; his resignation is rather perplexed to me at least, more so, just a few days before the AGM.

Hopefully, there will be clarity after the AGM on this Saturday.

关于上文第2点,虽然招股书没提,但原本的公司章程173条款的确是说到了2020年,会让股东选择继续或解散基金。 而这第173条款的确是在2016年12届股东大会上被特别议案修改为展期至2025年才需要作延长与否。
为正视听,大家可以参考Bursa Malaysia 的 29-08-2016 资本投资12届大会通知的附录(Appendix),修改第173条款的确是以特别提案在12届大会通过。

在2017年第13届大会虽然也有特别提案修改章程,但173条款只是改号码而已。大家也可以查查2017 年资本投资在Bursa Malaysia 的通告的31-05-2017年报(年报附录2017年大会将修改的章程条文)。
里面只是将原来的172至174条款改为175至177, 文字没改。

所以2020年展期至2025 年才决定继续或解散的确是在2016年大会特别议案敲定的。

Regarding the 2 and 3 points in iCapital.biz letter to eNanyang, although the Prospectus did not mention that come year 2020, the share owners can decide whether to continue to carry on the business of iCapital.biz or to wind up voluntarily, it was indeed stipulated in Article 173 of the original M&A.

And this Article 173 was indeed amended by special resolution in the 12th AGM in 2016, to the effect that the choice of continuing or automatically extending for further 5 years duration is thereby extended to start in year 2025, i.e. 5 years later.
To avoid misinterpretation, its best that you refer to the announcement made in Bursa Malaysia about the 12th AGM notice (the Appendix inside) dated 29-08-2016. But it is a bit tricky to read. Mind you.

In the 13th AGM in 2017, although there is a further amendment to the M&A (or Constitution now), the original Article 173 was amended by number only. There was no change in its content.
To avoid misinterpretation, again you are requested to refer to iCapital.biz Annual Report dated 31-05-2017 (with Appendix) in Bursa Malaysia. Again, a bit tricky to read.

Therefore the fact remains that the extension for making the decision to continue or not was indeed extended by 5 years from year 2020 to year 2025 through an amendment to the Article 173 in the 12th AGM 2016 by special resolution.

As I have told Mr DumbMoney, I had little hope that my questions will ever appear. Although I have sent in my first letter on 13 Nov 2020 and my second letter on 23 Nov 2020, none of them has managed to be tabled at the AGM. And seeing that my questions did not come out, I have also resent my questions on the spot. Yet they were swept under the carpet.

This is why I said before, in the AGM environment, there is not much chance for serious questions to be discussed. I had not harbored much hope before the AGM and now the result actually turned out as what I have anticipated.

As the disappointment is not unanticipated, I will continue to participate here and also put up more posting in my blog in future if there are more issues to be discussed.

All my above comment are now withdrawn because after further careful reading of the wordings in the original Article Clause 173, in the year 2020, the directors indeed need not propose for ordinary resolution to consider continuing for a further 5 year. Rather the directors only need to propose for such ordinary resolution 5 years later. i.e. year 2025. The amendment on Article 173 in 2016 has not changed this fact.

“Confucius’s disciples frequently asked him to define goodness. He would give each of them a different answer each time, depending on the situation. That’s because Confucian goodness is not something you can define in the abstract.

It’s the ability to respond well to others; the development of a sensibility that enables you to behave in ways that are good for those around you and to draw out their own better sides.

Confucius would not define goodness; he wanted his disciples to know that we must feel it in all these different, shifting situations to understand what it means to express it.

We have all felt it, and once we recognize it, we can develop it further”

Integrity. Intelligent. Industrious. 3iii (iiinvestsmart)$€£¥ Have icap AGM provided good explanations to all the above questions today? Please share.

I attended the AGM and key questions were answered:

i) Don't need to wait until 2025 to wind up the fund. If shareowners want to wind up, can bring it up for a vote

ii) The dual listing fee was charged because IRB/tax office deemed dual listing fund expenses incurred from 2010 to 2016 should be borne by ICAP/closed end fund, not by fund manager. Also, the RM6.68 mln charged was already discounted because the real expenses were over RM12 mln. The difference will be absorbed by the fund manager.

iii) The JR is to seek court interpretation on securities commissions’ guidelines for closed end funds' 20% shareholding limit

iv) The annual report showing significant unrealised losses on boustead and parkson is due to accounting treatment which doesn't take into account dividends, spin-offs etc. For boustead, when dividends, partial share sales of boustead in the past and free pharmaniaga shares etc. are added back, ICAP investment in boustead is actually positive. For parkson, a chunk of shares were received from lion diversified share distribution. So adding lion diversified 6+ bagger sale, partial share sales of parkson in the past, cash dividends and treasury shares, parkson is underwater by less than RM2 mln. This means even a slight improvement in Parkson's share price will result in a gain, and it will be in positive position just like boustead.

“Mr. Buffett reported performance numbers to his partners once a year on December 31. This is highly unusual. Mutual funds report daily and most hedge funds report monthly.

Mr. Buffett’s annual reporting makes all the sense in the world to me. Real business change takes months, if not years. If you invest in a business, you ought to be quite content to get a datapoint on its valuation once a year.

"Clearly the pure investor must hold his security for long periods, while the pure speculator must sell promptly, if each is to get what he seeks.

If the investor chooses his holdings wisely, he can make quite as much money as the speculator. In fact, he can probably make more, or so it would seem from the history of great fortunes.

But to buy when a security goes below its true worth, and to sell when it goes above it, is not enough to constitute wise investment, for such a policy would put the buying and selling points very close together, and in the end would yield no more than pure interest on the fund so invested.

Wise investments requires that only such issues as are selling far below their true worth should be bought; then, as large income payments are received in subsequent years because things turn out better for the security than most people expected, a handsome return on the principal can be enjoyed."

Cash per share (31 May 2020) = RM 1.83
NAV (9 Dec 2020) = RM3.07
Share price now RM 2.08
price discount RM3.07-RM2.08/RM2.08 = 47.6%

“If I was fortunate in the assortment of talents I brought to financial analysis, I was equally fortunate in the epoch in which I entered Wall Street. When I started, investment was almost entirely limited to bonds. Common stocks, with relatively few exceptions, were viewed primarily as vehicles for speculation.

Nonetheless, a considerable amount of window dressing began to be arrayed around common stocks, to impart some aura of respectability to what was previously considered a near relative of the gambling casino. Detailed information on operations and finances was beginning to be supplied by corporations, either voluntarily or to conform with stock exchange requirements.

The financial services had begun to present this material in convenient forms in their manuals and current publications. But in 1914 this mass of financial information was largely going to waste in the area of common-stock analysis. The figures were not ignored, but they were studied superficially and with little interest.

What counted most was inside information of various kinds – some of it relating to business operations, new orders, anticipated profits and the like, but more of it to the current activities and plans of the market manipulators – the famous “they” who were held responsible for all the significant moves, up and down, in every important stock.

To old Wall Street hands it seemed silly to pore over dry statistics when the determiners of price change were thought to be an entirely different set of factors – all of them very human.

But for a variety of reasons – not the least being the improvement in the financial strength of large industrial companies resulting from World War I – intrinsic value and investment merit were destined to assume increasing important in common-stock analysis after 1914. As a newcomer – uninfluenced by the distorting traditions of the old regime – I could respond readily to the new forces that were beginning to enter the financial scene.

I learned to distinguish between what was important and unimportant, dependable and undependable, even what was honest and dishonest, with a clearer eye and better judgement than many of my seniors, whose intelligence had been corrupted by their experience.

To a large degree, therefore, I found Wall Street virgin territory for examination by a genuine, penetrating analysis of security values.”
