Fu Yu’s largest shareholder calls for EGM amidst company’s poor performance

He also wants two directors fired.

Fu Yu Corporation Limited’s largest shareholder Victor Lim wrote to the company’s board to ask for an extraordinary general meeting to remove from office two of four directors and to appoint three new ones amidst his concern over the company’s poor performance.

Lim, who owns 29.45% of the total paid-up shares of the company, said in his letter that he wants to convey a meeting to remove Christopher Huang Junli, and Royston Tan Tong Loong as directors.

In addition, Lim also wants to establish Gilbert L. Rodrigues, Ralf Pilarczyk, and Yang Zhenrong as independent non-executive directors.

Lim outlines that since Huang and Lim have been elected to the board, he said substantial shareholder value has been erased. He also said that the share price of the company has steadily dropped from $0.33 per share in 2021 to $0.13 to date. The company’s net profit has also dropped from $17.58m in 2021 to $10.11m in 2023.

Fu Yu’s board has acknowledged the receipt of the letter and will convene the EGM in due course.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
