An extract from the Case Studies on Corporate Governance relating to the Company:  Please read the whole chapter on the Company in the earlier link. SGX&rsquo s curiosity is piqued SGX queried SEGL on 6 June 2018, seeking clarifications on SEGL&rsquo s share swap with SMGL with the following questions:50 (A) Please explain how the purchase consideration of US$6.9 million was arrived at in light of the NTA and NAV of SMGL. (B) What is the Board&rsquo s views and bases on why this acquisition is in the interest of the Company? 171 SEGL&rsquo s response to the first question was that the quantum of US$3 per SMGL share was arrived at simply based on prior transactions. However, there was no actual supporting information to substantiate how the consideration was determined.51 It also cited a RHB report by an unnamed analyst who has estimated SMGL&rsquo s value per share to be between US$4.70 to US$8.00. According to a blogpost, a RHB analyst had put a bullish valuation on SMGL in 2017 and this same analyst had set a target price for SEGL of 32 cents in 2017, then lowered it to 27 cents, then 23 cents, then 20 cents and finally 10 cents in May 2018, while consistently maintaining a &ldquo buy&rdquo recommendation for SEGL&rsquo s shares.52 Clearly dissatisfied with the response, on 6 August 2018, SGX issued a further query with eight questions based on the company&rsquo s response to the first SGX query. Amongst its questions, SGX queried SEGL on its future plans for SMGL, its rationale for acquiring stakes in SMGL at a significant premium, the individuals holding key leadership positions in SMGL, as well as the controlling shareholders of SMGL. SEGL provided its responses to the SGX query on 23 August 2018 and 29 August 2018.53,54 SGX subsequently issued yet another query, with a focus on the Group&rsquo s strategic business direction for SMGL . In its response, SEGL repeatedly mentioned SMGL&rsquo s &ldquo potential&rdquo to grow and be monetised despite its current net loss position .55 Are SGX&rsquo s persistent queries a sign of problems in SEGL? SEGL, which listed on SGX&rsquo s Catalist board in July 2014 through a private placement of 69.44 million shares at S$0.26 each,56 has seen its share price fall from a high of more than S$0.52 post-listing to just S$0.018 on 18 July 2019.57 Clearly, shareholders would not be amused. Discussion questions 1. SEGL entered into a number of sales and purchase agreements with &ldquo independent&rdquo or &ldquo unrelated&rdquo third parties as it increased its stake in SMGL between 2017 and 2018. Critically evaluate these transactions and their possible impact on the value of SEGL&rsquo s shares. 2. In a number of cases, SEGL issued shares through share swap transactions and the issue prices of those shares were stated to be above the prevailing market price. There are other companies which have done the same. Why might companies do this and is this beneficial to the shareholders of these companies? 3. What are the potential conflicts of interest in the disposal and sale of UAA Korea and Opus Pictures to SEGL&rsquo s former CEO? Discuss the possible implications of UAA Korea losing its assets (i.e. well-known Korean artistes) to the new entity, UAA & Co. SPACKMAN ENTERTAINMENT: SEARCHING FOR THE MAGIC FORMULA 172 4. SGX issued a number of queries to SEGL. Critically evaluate the usefulness of SGX&rsquo s queries and whether you believe the company&rsquo s responses were adequate? Do you think SGX should have done more to ensure that the transactions concerned are in the best interest of SEGL&rsquo s shareholders? If so, what else do you think SGX could have done? 5. There are a number of issues relating to the founder of SEGL, Charles Spackman, which have been reported in the media. Do you think SEGL should have been allowed to list on SGX given these issues? Explain, citing relevant SGX rules which may be applicable. 6. SEGL cited the valuation placed on SMGL by an unnamed analyst in helping justify the consideration paid to acquire SMGL shares. This analyst also consistently set high target prices and maintained &ldquo buy&rdquo recommendations for SEGL shares. What is the role of analysts in the corporate governance ecosystem? What are conflicts of interests that analysts may face? How can analysts be made more accountable, given that investors may rely on their projections and recommendations in making investment decisions? DYODD |

The same could be asked, what is in the interest for substantial shareholders, Spackman Equities Group Inc. and Dr Tan Chong Koay. If they do not see value in the management' s decision (e.g. shares swapping), why do they continue to vote for " management to allot new shares" during special meeting and " reappointment of directors" every year??

It is not 5 points or demand.  They are the same calling out statements made by the co and the individuals.  Absolutely not in the interest of minority shareholders, oversaw the share price falling from 26 cents to 1 cent.  Where is the accountability for those statements made. | ||||

Spackman Entertainment Group, Crazy Romance Spackman will only move up: (1) it shows positve p/l and cash flow and not accounting profit by revaluing its swapped co. (2) the Co buy back share since the managment deemed the share to be undervalued at over 10 cents. (3)  the previous interim CEO and now Director of the co, buy the shares as he went on record when share was trading mutifold of current price, that it was then undervalued. (4)  the current CEO, John Ko buy the shares, when he took the role of CEO he said the share price was undrvalued and he aimed to increase the value.  The share price was mid 4 cent.  He sold all his swapped shares before assuming the CEO position. (5)  Mr Kay Na, who was previously responsible for Finance and now current COO, buy the shares.  He was on the helm when the numerous share swaps were done for cos which were supposedly accretive but so far had been drag on the bottom line.    They oversaw the massive dilution of the Co' s share. If not, their actions and talks as proved  have not been to the interest of the minority shareholders as reflected by the precipe fall of the share price from its IPO price 26 cent to the current 1 cent. |

Most likely just some high level talks. But you can already starting to see Spackman working with Singapore MediaCorp to produce drama series.

WIth that gain on investment is like S$34m, which means S$0.028 / share (S$34m divide by total issued shares 1.2 billion). This is 200% the currently share price of S$0.014. WHAT A STEAL IF U BUY NOW!!!!
