Del Monte’s choppy tale is a case study in how financiers repeatedly repackage the same business for juicy fees. Even after decades of controversial deals, there’s still more being squeezed out: @JennHughes13 https://t.co/HxLZlegPpj https://t.co/KGobhzTBaS

There are other ways to protect privacy than hiding information https://t.co/Vxv4YjUJOv
Hong Kong government plans for curbing access to its corporate registry are moving forward. With governments around the world pushing transparency on low-tax jurisdictions, this looks shady. https://t.co/VZK5SsuMAC @JennHughes13 https://t.co/TB7rgnLLM9

Sweat and gears: time for Shimano to crank up production https://t.co/sJQvkIwG4l
From @Breakingviews: Shimano is benefiting from a surge in bicycle purchases driven by pandemic lockdowns, but its refusal to significantly boost capacity is starving retailers and aggravating a global bicycle shortage, says @JennHughes13 https://t.co/qOiSKVIT56 https://t.co/m7CpZdb6wb

Quorn owner Monde Nissin is set to go public. But its control of the Beyond Meat rival has so far been only been a side dish in the vegan alternatives boom, says @JennHughes13 https://t.co/XD2mHAcYbs https://t.co/bYi1GQf9ii

From @Breakingviews: Hong Kong’s financiers and politicians should be worried by the population’s lack of enthusiasm for vaccinations, says @JennHughes13 https://t.co/kOmvcT7hJy https://t.co/enjhFqwlrM

confusion over Chinese regs can cast a long shadow https://t.co/MszX0dJNOP
Lufax quietly raised $2 bln the week before its rival Ant’s $35 bln IPO imploded last year. On Monday it reported first quarter earnings up 19% and doubled some forecasts. Share performance remains unfairly darkened by Ant’s regulatory woes. @JennHughes13 https://t.co/zqGZQuu8yJ https://t.co/VHtAcWRaso

Nice when you can drop 23% but still stand 1200% higher over a year https://t.co/40KeEMr0vK
Futu’s shares slumped 23% this week on news it planned a share sale worth 8% of its enlarged capital. Prospects are bright but hasty fundraising can quickly tarnish performance, says @JennHughes13 in Capital Calls: https://t.co/l50MzOs1vB https://t.co/Tdf94XQ9JD

Hedge funds packing their Bermuda shorts... https://t.co/LFQeLQmhS1
Fewer than half of minority investors backed Jardine's offer to simplify its structure. The rare dual-holding setup means the deal will still go though. But it sets up a series of showdowns with hedge funds in the UK territory’s courts: https://t.co/7Nb7YV6jX0 @JennHughes13 https://t.co/6ZOJtGAjgm

the HK govt is wrong to mask ID numbers in its registry - and it has its maths on the issue wrong too https://t.co/nrdC8cOr8e
Government misled LegCo over HKIDs: A quick Sunday search using a single popular name finds 8 pairs of matching masked HKIDs in the Companies Registry. There must be hundreds or thousands of other such pairs on other names - yet the Gove...

Buyout barbarian CVC is at the gates of Tokyo with a $20 billion bid for Toshiba. But the sum of the conglomerate’s various parts looks to be worth far more than that, says @JennHughes13 https://t.co/JXMqF74qVE

Few deals have dominated a company's story as completely as Nomura's 2008 Lehman purchase https://t.co/ge61nsmkxc
Nomura warned it might lose up to $2 billion from a single U.S. client, widely reported to be Archegos. It’ll be hard work unclogging the sand its relationship with the troubled fund has poured into its main fuel tank: @JennHughes13 https://t.co/zQSrToj7Fo https://t.co/nZdcfG5AUH

The companies registry is an important tool used by journalists to improve accountability, expose wrongdoing and bring to light important matters of public concern. The FCC believes such changes will be harmful to #pressfreedom and transparency in the city.https://t.co/VFg4yG1gt4
