An announcement from CMMB Vision Holdings ( (HK:0471) ) is now available.

Silkwave Inc., a Cayman Islands-incorporated company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, operates within the broader media and technology sector and is followed by investors seeking exposure to regional digital and data-focused businesses. Its shareholder base includes institutional and individual investors, and the company’s board is made up of executive and independent non-executive directors in line with Hong Kong market norms.

The company disclosed that substantial shareholder Chi Capital Holdings defaulted on a loan secured against Silkwave shares, triggering forced sales of about 11.10% of the company’s issued share capital and cutting Chi Capital’s stake to roughly 1.58%. Separately, a steep intraday share price decline led to forced sales of around 24.35 million shares held by chairman and executive director Chau Ngai Fung, reducing his holding to about 2.55%, prompting a brief trading suspension before the company sought to resume trading and warned investors to exercise caution.

The board acknowledged the sharp fall in Silkwave’s share price and surge in trading volumes but said it was unaware of other undisclosed reasons behind the market volatility. The concentration of forced disposals among key shareholders may raise concerns about share overhang and financing arrangements, although the company maintains there is no additional inside information requiring disclosure at this time.
