World Nexus Lifts Thelloy Development Stake to Nearly 63% After Offer Closes

-- Thelloy Development (HKG:1546) said a mandatory unconditional cash offer by World Nexus closed with limited shareholder response, according to a joint Hong Kong bourse filing on April 10.

Shares of the construction company were down nearly 6% in Monday morning trade.

Valid acceptances were received for 457,000 shares, representing about 0.06% of the company's issued share capital.

Based on the offer price of HK$0.19 per share, total consideration payable to accepting shareholders amounted to about HK$86,830, the filing said.

Following the close of the offer, World Nexus and its concert parties held 501.3 million shares, representing about 62.7% of the company, compared with 62.6% before the offer.

At the management level, Lam Kin Wing Eddie resigned as chairman and chief executive officer, with Ng Jonathan Yee appointed to both roles effective the same day.

Although the combined role deviates from Corporate Governance Code requirements, the board said it enables more effective strategy execution while maintaining adequate oversight, according to the filing.

Challenger's Fiscal 2026 Q3 Update Missed Consensus Across Key Life Metrics, Jarden Says

Challenger's (ASX:CGF) fiscal 2026 third-quarter update missed consensus across key Life metrics, with FM outflows significantly worse than expected, driven by institutional equity mandate attrition in both Australian and global equities, according to a Tuesday note by Jarden.The firm's redemption of all CGFPC notes on May 25 simplifies the capital structure, reduces the AT1 coupon burden, and is earnings-per-share accretive.Jarden sees balanced risk/reward for Challenger in the future, with catalysts including capital management flexibility from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority reform, as well as expanding retirement partnerships across superfunds.It lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast to reflect weaker institutional fixed-term sales, partially offset by higher retail annuity sales as partnerships come online.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on Challenger and raised the price target to AU$8.70 per share from AU$8.60 per share.
