  2. Hi Dev, sorry for replying so late.
    The capital reduction exercise is meant to give back shareholders the extra cash that the company holds. Once the cash is return, i would expect the dip in stock price.

  4. Hi Wilbert, it is almost the same as giving dividends. Probably, the only difference is that it is a one off event. You will not expect Transpac to give huge dividends like this frequently because it will hit the company's bottom line.
