Utter carnage in arb-world this week, as Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT SP) fails, Link Administration (LNK AU) and Ramsay Health (RHC AU) are potentially next, and now Giordano (709 HK).
46.04%. That's the only number that matters, which represents the total shares owned by the Cheng family plus shares tendered. 
The Chengs are restricted from launching another Offer for 12 months. Giordano will be sold off today, however, this is a buy if it retraces to around the undisturbed levels.
