<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/13490" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13490:1">Mulpha International (MIT MK)</a> is trading at 0.21x P/B. It's 22.7% stake in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/9390" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9390:1">Aveo Group (AOG AU)</a> (itself trading at 0.6x P/B, a three and half year low) is worth 133% of Mulpha's market cap. Aveo just announced a <a href="https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20180824/pdf/43xnyydl8kpkf6.pdf" target="_blank">strategic review</a> after receiving various proposal from investors. 
Aveo trades at a steep discount to peers, due to the presence of Mulpha's large stake restricting institutional ownership; the fact Mulpha and Aveo share the same chairman, intimating connected transactions; the ongoing class action; or a combination of all three. 
Corporate activity has also recently slowed. The last entitlement (rights) offer was conducted in 2013; while the last major <a href="https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20160818/pdf/439dny78n9pfp2.pdf" target="_blank">institutional placement</a> occurred in August 2016. And given the prevailing P/B, the quantum of the recent buyback falls short of the strong management commitment shown in August last year.
Aveo is a company that would be better served being privatised by Mulpha.
Further afield, Mulpha should also be privatised by the controlling Lee family. 
Aveo trades around US$2mn/day. Mulpha is smaller - US$135mn mkt cap &amp; liquidity of US$0.3k - if that doesn't float your boat, look away now.
