Kingston Financial (1031 HK) entered a trading halt pending an announcement under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers on 14 October. The shares are at all-time lows. 
It is likely that Pollyanna Chu Yuet Wah (CEO and co-founder), the largest shareholder representing 75.61% of ordinary shares (80.09% of diluted shares), is seeking to privatise Kingston.
