Business units owned by billionaire Henry Cheng's family have agreed to pay up to HK$1.5 billion to Giordano International shareholders following a Hong Kong regulator investigation. The Securities and Futures Commission found that Chow Tai Fook Nominee and its concert parties failed to make a mandatory offer when their stake exceeded 30% in 2016. This settlement marks the largest payout for breaches of the Hong Kong Takeover Code. The agreement includes cash payments to compensate independent shareholders affected by the breaches.
