李澤楷換伴
混血女曝光

【本報訊】「小小超」 李澤楷旗下的電訊盈科最近為了明年開辦的免費電視台與「 電訊魔童」王維基創辦的城市電訊齊發功向無綫 進行大挖角潮，但李澤楷百忙中都要唞唞氣， 前晚他就約了名媛好友葉梁美蘭的中歐混血兒姪女梁小姐到林建岳旗 下位於上環的日本餐廳撐枱腳，短敍三小時後，李 澤楷先行離開， 15分鐘後，竟然出動葉梁美蘭到場護駕姪女離開， 看來他對梁小姐照顧有加。記者：羅德光、龍婉琪、林妙萍

今年 44歲鑽石王老五李澤楷 3月向傳媒發出聲明，宣佈與他生了三名兒子的女友梁洛施 分手後，三個月後，他現身新加坡機場， 身邊又出現了一位長髮、纖瘦身形女伴同行， 當時李澤楷盡顯紳士風度，彎低腰親手幫女方拿行李。短 短幾個月，想不到前晚他身邊又出現新一任「超女」就位。

李澤楷前晚約葉梁美蘭姪女撐完枱腳，春風滿面先行離去。

梁小姐（右）上車後依然低着頭，看來還不適應被大批傳媒追訪。

Fingers crossed.   Hope this romance works for the Chief now that his business life is running smoothly.   He deserves a break and is one of the most far-sighted and Action leaders in this world.  

Richard's Business Trust

PCCW's proposed listing of its telecom assets in the form of a trust and Swire Properties' listing by introduction will bring two blue-chip Hong Kong assets to the market--- something rarely seen these days.

New listings by pure Hong Kong companies are a rarity these days when virtually all IPOs on the Hong Kong stock exchange are by companies based either in China or some other country outside our borders. The reason, of course, is that most Hong Kong companies are already listed.

So it is interesting to see not just one, but two major Hong Kong businesses preparing for a listing in the next few months, namely Swire Properties and HKT Trust, which comprises PCCW’s telecommunications business. Both are spin-offs from companies that are already listed, but account for the majority of revenues and profits at their respective parent companies, making this an interesting exercise not just for the unit that is being spun off, but for the parent company and its shareholders as well.

The two listing candidates have chosen different routes towards their separate listings, however.

Swire Properties, the property development and investment unit which is currently wholly-owned by Swire Pacific, said in statement at the end of last week that it has decided to list by introduction. This means that it won’t be issuing any new shares, although it will distribute about 17% of Swire Properties’ share capital to existing investors in Swire Pacific.

PCCW on the other hand is aiming to float its telecom assets on the Hong Kong stock exchange in the form of a dividend-paying trust and said over the weekend that it may raise about $1.3 billion, assuming it is able to sell as much as 40% of the trust and based on a valuation floor that translates into a dividend yield of about 9%.

Swire’s announcement is a change from its earlier plan, which saw Swire Pacific pursue a Hong Kong IPO in late April/early May last year. The company was aiming to raise up to $2.7 billion by selling about 15% of its share capital, but called off the deal a day before pricing amid a deteriorating market environment.

The cancellation was a big disappointment for the group as the property unit needed money to finance its continued expansion, particularly in China. Swire Pacific was also keen to equip Swire Properties with its own funding platform so that it would be able to more easily raise additional capital as and when needed. Hence, there has been a lot of speculation about whether Swire Properties would make another attempt at an IPO. The volatile market environment that has persisted for much of this year is making new listings challenging, however, and would also likely require the shares to be sold at a big discount to net asset value – something that would probably not go down well with Swire Pacific’s existing shareholders.

However, a couple of month ago, Swire Properties sold its Festival Walk mall in Hong Kong to Singapore’s Mapletree Investment for HK$18.8 billion ($2.4 billion), which means it now has enough capital to cover its current funding requirements without having to sell new shares.

But the group still wants to create a platform for future fund raisings and a listing by introduction will achieve that without the company having to take any market risk. According to last week’s statement, the plan is to distribute 10% of Swire Properties’ share capital to the public shareholders of Swire Pacific and another 7% to John Swire and Sons (JSS), which is the controlling shareholder of the parent company. This ratio means the ownership structure between controlling and minority shareholders will be the same for both Swire Pacific and Swire Properties. JSS owns approximately 39% of Swire Pacific’s share capital and 56.8% of the voting rights.

Since Swire Pacific’s shareholders will receive the shares in Swire Properties for free this should be a fairly uncontroversial exercise. And with the property division accounting for 76% of Swire Pacific’s total asset value and the parent company having a market capitalisation of about $9.8 billion, a 10% free-float should result in decent liquidity in the stock – something which is otherwise a big problem when it comes to listings by introduction.

PCCW is taking an altogether different approach to the spin-off its telecom business, which it acquired from Cable & Wireless in 2000. Floating the assets as a dividend-paying trust, allows PCCW to raise cash for debt repayments and at the same time distribute a bigger portion of the earnings from the telecom business to shareholders.

The listing vehicle will not be a business trust as the regulatory changes needed to allow such vehicles to list in Hong Kong are not yet in place – it is being referred to as a fixed single investment trust. However, the company and its bookrunners have come up with a structure that is very similar to the business trusts listed in Singapore, but works under the current Hong Kong listing rules. One key difference, according to sources, is that it will only take 50% of the shareholders’ vote to remove the trustee and management companies, compared to 75% for Singapore business trusts. Also, there will be no regulatory requirement with regard to how much dividend the trust needs to pay, although PCCW has said that HKT Trust will pass on 100% of the adjusted funds flow to its unitholders.

PCCW’s controlling shareholder Richard Li, the youngest son of Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing, will be hoping that he has finally found a structure that will be acceptable to minority shareholders after several failed attempts to take PCCW private in recent years.

In a statement issued on Sunday, that provided further details on the proposed structure, PCCW argued that a separate listing of the telecom business will unlock value for shareholders and better identify and establish the fair value of the telecom business. It will also create a more defined business focus and efficient resource allocation with regard to the telecom business, and at the same time increase the visibility of PCCW’s remaining businesses – media, solutions and properties.

And it will boost the financial resources, both for the telecom business and for PCCW, the company said. 

The first HK$7.8 billion ($1 billion) of the net IPO proceeds will go to HKT and will be used to reduce its debt. This will ensure that more cash will be available to distribute to the unitholders. Any proceeds above that will go to PCCW and will go towards additional investments in its growth businesses, such as the media and solutions businesses, with the aim of creating value for its existing shareholders.

The company earlier this month said that HKT Trust will be listed in the form of share stapled units, which will have three components: a unit in HKT Trust; a beneficial interest in one ordinary share of HKT Limited that is linked to the unit; and a preference share in HKT Limited that is stapled to the unit.

And on Sunday it said it will sell between 25% and 36.7% of these share stapled units as part of a global offering, or up to 40% including a greenshoe. At the top end of the range, pre-shoe, the net proceeds are estimated to be $1.3 billion and at the bottom end about $873 million. This assumes a price per unit that translates into a 9% yield, based on the company’s cash flow projections for 2012.

One source noted that the 9% yield gives PCCW a significant buffer versus the sector average of a 6.5% yield, although that may well be necessary in the current market environment. PCCW itself is currently trading at a 2012 dividend yield of about 5.3%, according to Bloomberg.

The IPO will include a 10% tranche earmarked for Hong Kong retail investors, but the company will also offer 10% to existing PCCW shareholders in the form of a preferential offering. That latter portion can be upsized to 30% depending on the demand. However, PCCW shareholders have complained for years about the company’s lagging share price, so it is somewhat difficult to see them being interested in paying for the same assets that they have already bought once.

That in mind, PCCW will also distribute an additional 5% of HKT Trust’s share capital (on top of the global offering) to its existing shareholders for free. These bonus shares will not be handed out immediately, however, but will be distributed in two portions – at the end of the first quarter following the listing and then again 60 days later. While this is free, it is also designed to limit the selling of PCCW shares in the lead up to and immediately following the listing of HKT Trust.    --  2011 September 28  FINANCE ASIA

自從今年 1月忽然現身鄭秀文紅館演唱會後，超過 10 個月未曝光的 22歲梁洛施（Isabella），據知一直匿在加拿大多倫多做湊仔婆， 間中亦只會飛到新加坡小住，再沒被傳媒發現，行蹤神秘。
深閨唔出街，但本刊上週目擊 Isabella 出現日本成田機場，據知 Isabella 剛在東京陪完李澤楷度過 44歲生日，兩人撇甩 3個囝囝玩足 6日，直至週日（ 14日） Isabella 才獨自由日本飛返加拿大，繼續其低調生活。
由英皇小花變千億闊太，飛上枝頭的 Isabella 卻全冇「架子」，全程冇保鑣冇助手跟身， 行李更要自己推，樸實性格絕對符合李家低調作風。

互動片段

今年 6月再度為男友李澤楷誕下一對孖仔的梁洛施，週日（14日）於日本時間下午 2時左右現身東京成田機場。當日 Isabella 只由司機接載到機場，素顏冇化妝的她，一身 OL 恤衫冷外套打扮，只簡單戴了一對珍珠耳環， 手 上亦冇任何戒指。 Dressed so plain and low-key, Isabella was seen in Tokyo Airport at around 2 pm on Sunday November 14th.  She was sent to the airport by a driver, neat and clean and not bejeweled, except a pair of pearl earrings.

喪撩地勤
Isabella check-in時同地勤人員雞啄唔斷，而且全程笑晒口，點睇都唔似忽然升呢嘅闊太。  Isabella seen talking non-stop with ground hostesses, very friendly.

落車後，乘搭 5時 10分直航往多倫多的 Isabella，獨自推行李車 check-in，但搵極都搵唔到加拿大航空櫃位， 惟有迷惘地在機場兜圈；擾攘十幾分鐘， Isabella才在加航櫃位 check-in。記者所見，冇帶黑超、打扮比起一般 22歲港女老咗 10年的 Isabella，與地勤人員有講有笑，態度非常友善。
辦完手續後發現有記者追訪， Isabella 亦沒有迴避，邊微笑邊行向保安檢查， 更 當眾除低黑色 Gucci 長靴過關。手持 iPhone 4的她不時玩電話，未知是否向小小超報告行蹤。 Isabella is taking the 5:10 pm flight to Toronto.  She was constantly playing w her iphone - one wonders if she's reporting what happened to Richard?  She had to take off her Gucci boots when going thru customs.

提起孖仔即刻開心晒，據知已有 3子的 Isabella 同小小超冇打算停手，希望繼續有仔趁嫩生。
「 Bella 同 Richard 好鍾意小朋友，加上 3個仔得意又好湊，幾個細路又氹得爺爺好開心，搞到佢兩個心郁郁想追多幾個！話晒 Bella都係得 22歲，就算生完 3件都復原得好快，所以佢哋呢排好努力造人，今次去日本都專登撇低囝囝二人世界，仲話最好可以追到個兔女！」 Isabella 身邊人透露。
消息透露， Isabella 現時與一對孖仔長居多倫多，歲半大仔李長治則住在新加坡，而小小超就多數留在日本的電盈工作，所以 Isabella經常要幾邊走，偶然先會返香港小住幾日探朋友。

電盈主席李澤楷（小小超）石澳大浪灣超豪木屋內貌曝光。呢間木屋斥資逾二億元興建，起咗八年至完成，據聞小小超起咗間屋之後好少去住，只係用嚟招呼朋友，不過由讀者提供畀我哋嘅圖片可以睇到，間木屋已成為咗小小超、梁洛施同三個囝囝嘅安樂窩。

有傳豪宅早前經過悉心裝修，話口未完， 尋日有讀者向我哋提供多幅相信係超豪木屋嘅內部照片 包括超豪BB房、巨型日式按摩池花園布置和放滿溫馨照片嘅相架等。

相架嘅生活照，暴露咗小小超嘅家庭狀況。 其中大相係小小超手抱BB、梁洛施彎身站其身後嘅合照， 另外較細小嘅幾張相，包括BB單人照，以及與家人嘅合照， 但就睇唔清楚相中BB，究竟係去年出生嘅大仔長治， 定係今年七月出生嘅孖仔

  

相中睇到，透過BB房前落地大窗戶，可看到屋外茂密的樹林，BB床係木做嘅，同整幢木屋相襯。另一幅則是一個豪華浴室，浴室內設有一個巨型日式按摩池，長方形設計，就算一家五口齊浸溫泉亦綽綽有餘。
