Hong Kong’s capital markets regulator has started Market Misconduct Tribunal (MMT) proceedings against Yorkey Optical International (Cayman) for failing to disclose price sensitive inside information “as soon as reasonably practicable”.

The Securities and Futures Commission’s action was also directed at Yorkey’s chief executive and executive director, Nagai Michio, and its company secretary and financial controller, Ng Chi Ching.

The SFC said it took action against the two men for their reckless or negligent conduct causing the alleged breach by Yorkey of the provisions of the statutory corporate disclosure regime or their failure to take all reasonable measures from time to time to ensure that proper safeguards exist to prevent the alleged breach.

Speaking generally, Mohan Datwani, director of technical and research standards at the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS), as well as a member of the territory’s Securities and Futures Appeals Tribunal (SFAT), said the regulator’s move showed that the SFC meant business.

“The SFC is serious about regulating the local market and it places a heavy emphasis on vigilance and disclosure. On the matter of disclosure, it is keen about both its quality and impact as set forth in its recent corporate newsletters,” he said.

It was in that vein, he said, that the SFC likely took action.

Yorkey was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on February 10, 2006. The statutory corporate disclosure regime under the local Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO) came into effect on January 1, 2013.

Profit slide

Yorkey recorded a net profit of $1.25 million (HK$9.696 million) in its unaudited interim results for the six months ending on June 30, 2012, with a net profit of $60,000 for its 2012 final results. Its $60,000 2012 net profit represented a decline of 99 percent when compared to the same figure for 2011, $6.685 million.

The securities regulator found that, contrary to the published expectations of Yorkey’s management of significant growth and increasing profitability for the second half of 2012, as compared to the first half of that year, Yorkey sustained material losses in the second half of 2012.

That caused the company to deteriorate financially, causing a significant year-on-year decline to its 2012 profits on a full-year basis. The information about Yorkey’s material losses in the second half of 2012 and its significant financial deterioration were apparent from the figures contained in the internal management accounts, the SFC said.

“These figures would have been a clear indication to the senior management of Yorkey that the results for the second half of 2012 and hence, the full year of 2012, would be much worse than expected,” the SFC said.

Lack of timely disclosure

The information above came to the knowledge of Yorkey and its chief executive from around mid-December 2012 or mid-January 2013, at the latest, the SFC said. “However, it was not disclosed to the public until the publication of Yorkey’s audited annual results for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 final results) on March 25, 2013,” the SFC said.

The regulator said information about Yorkey’s material losses in the second half of 2012 and the significant deterioration in its financial performance was specific information regarding Yorkey, price sensitive and not generally known to the public at the material time.

“Had the information been known to the investing public, it would be likely to materially affect the share price of Yorkey,” the SFC said.

Yorkey’s share price fell 21.25 percent over a three-day period from HK$0.80 on March 25 to HK$0.63 on March 28, 2013.

Beijing is studying ways to further engage Hong Kong’s legal community when it has to interpret the Basic Law in the future, the liaison office’s legal chief said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Wang Zhenmin said this was part of Beijing’s plan to “fully implement” the Basic Law.

“People [have complained] a lot in recent years that the Basic Law was not fully implemented, both in Hong Kong and [the] mainland,” he said.

“So we are doing research on this question [on] how to, for example, increase participation of the Hong Kong legal community when the National People’s Congress Standing Committee interprets the Basic Law.”

Under Hong Kong’s constitutional framework, when the Court of Final Appeal deems it necessary to refer a case to the NPCSC for an interpretation of the Basic Law, the NPCSC would do so upon the advice of the Basic Law Committee, of which Wang is a member.

The committee consists of 12 members, equally split between Hongkongers and mainlanders.

In the first few years after the handover, however, Beijing interpreted the law without a request from the top court, effectively overturning its right-of-abode judgment and triggering concerns over judicial independence in the then-fledging SAR.

Over the past decade, however, Beijing has been more reserved in terms of interpreting the city’s mini-constitution. In 2011, Hong Kong’s top court for the first time passed a case about diplomatic immunity to the NPCSC for interpretation.

Wang, who gave a one-hour English talk at the club, a rare venue for communist officials, did not spell out in detail how the participation of Hong Kong lawyers could be increased in the future.

He said Beijing is also considering how to make the mainland legal market more accessible to Hong Kong’s legal professionals, and how to “further protect human rights and the lawful interests of Hong Kong people on the mainland”.

Commenting on the case of Lee Po, the Hong Kong bookseller who went missing to participate in a mainland investigation, Wang said it is “clear in the Basic Law” that only the Hong Kong government and agencies can enforce the law in the city.

Agreement reached at Internet Economy Summit to build tech hubs on both sides of the border, with backing of businesses and governments

Business groups from the mainland and Hong Kong, with the backing of their governments, yesterday signed an unprecedented deal to develop “smart cities” on both sides.

The agreement between the mainland’s Smart City Development Alliance and Hong Kong’s Smart City Consortium at yesterday’s Internet Economy Summit would jointly promote business exchanges with the aim of harnessing technology to improve people’s lives.

This follows Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s policy address last year when he first proposed using Kowloon East as a pilot area.

He followed up in this year’s policy speech with his vision of turning Hong Kong into a smart city, starting with expanding free Wi-Fi services to bus stops and shopping arcades, having more mobile-friendly data services, and encouraging “intelligent homes”.

“Hong Kong has great competitive advantage in developing an internet economy with its world class infrastructure, young talents, mature financial system, and comprehensive legal framework,” Xu Lin, deputy director of China’s Cyberspace Administration told the audience at the summit.

“[The internet industry] will become the ‘crowning touch’ of the city’s economic development one day,” Xu said, adding there’s plenty of room for the mainland and Hong Kong to work together.

Xu suggested that the city’s Cyberport could be turned into an innovation hub for companies from both sides of the border by using big data to boost mainland and overseas businesses in Hong Kong.

Eric Yeung Chuen-sing, convener of Smart City Consortium, who signed the agreement on behalf of some 30 major local players, including CLP Power and HK Electric, told the Post that the idea was to get more creative input from the mainland to build a smart city in Hong Kong.

“There are 277 pilot areas on the mainland but Hong Kong only has one,” he said.

Yeung noted that most smart city companies eyed the bigger mainland market, but Hong Kong could be a good place for launching pilot schemes thanks to its mature business environment.

The agreement included clauses for Hong Kong experts to be involved in setting standards for the evaluation of smart cities.

“We want to make sure the relevant products from Hong Kong would fit the standard of [mainland] China and the rest of the world,” Yeung said, “otherwise, Hong Kong will become an isolated island.”

Speaking at the summit, the chief executive said Hong Kong was well positioned to develop its internet economy by capitalising on its China connections under the “one country, two systems” policy.

Leung welcomed companies from the mainland and other parts of the world to set up offices for research and development in Hong Kong, and to take full advantage of “the world-class infrastructure” and “dynamic business environment” here.

“We are, indeed, a welcoming society, one that has open borders, and more importantly, open minds,” Leung said.

Allen Ma, chief executive officer of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, said there was no one smart city solution. He said each city had a different focus when introducing technology to make the urban environment smarter and improve living standards.

In the case of Hong Kong, Ma said, the Science Park was examining the use of smart connected devices to enhance transportation and housing.

Insurance companies in Asia are increasingly being used as vehicles to spirit money out of China and circumvent Chinese capital controls, officials said.

While insurance companies have been on high alert for potential money laundering risks in recent years, capital flight is a more recent phenomenon, but one that could have serious implications for the insurance sector, panelists at a conference argued.

In some cases, mainland Chinese insurance companies have tried to circumvent capital controls by obtaining insurance licences outside their domestic market to transfer funds out of the country, said Bill Majcher, president of EMIDR in Hong Kong. Speaking at the InnoXcell Annual Symposium in Hong Kong, Majcher highlighted the use of insurance to engage in private equity or hedge fund-style investments.

“I have routinely been asked by Chinese insurance companies, in some of the investment banking and advisory deals I do, to buy insurance licences in Hong and Taiwan and Greater China,” he said. “They are not looking to sell insurance policies, they are looking for vehicles to bring money out [of China]. Until recently, who had heard of Chinese insurance companies doing multi-billion dollar hotel acquisitions?”

“When I see all this money and desire to get insurance vehicles from and outside of China, it tells me it is nothing more than a vehicle for capital flows. When it comes to how the insurance industry can be used to launder funds, there are so many different ways; it is not just a launderer buying a product,” he said.

He also likened the fund outflow from China to a “giant Ponzi scheme” which would cause considerable problems in five years’ time.

Majcher, a former inspector with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), said, historically, insurance had never seriously been regarded as an AML risk. “From a law enforcement perspective, in the past, insurance was never a major issue,” he said.

Soeren Seitz, chief compliance officer at Manulife Asia in Hong Kong, and a co-panelist, said many insurance products, such as car insurance, medical plans and term life, were not good money laundering vehicles. “You have got to produce a death certificate, so it is only in pretty rare events that it [life insurance] will get misused,” he said.

Weak spots

Insurance can however be an effective way for criminals to launder funds.

“When it comes to insurance companies depositing money into a bank account because it is [ostensibly] from the proceeds of sales of insurance products, there is going to be a lower barrier of scrutiny on that money because it is still considered as coming from a financial institution,” Majcher said.

He said if a launderer took out an insurance policy, they could always later claim they did not need it and surrender the policy for its current cash value. “Nowadays, [insurers] are selling any number of financial products and doing financial engineering in ways insurance companies have traditionally not been doing,” he said.

Ultimately, would-be launderers merely want to know how much it will cost, what currencies they can use, how long the transaction will take, what volume of funds can be sent and what guarantees they have of performance.

Compliance officers must therefore be aware of their firms’ AML risks, to what extent the beneficial ownership information in their files is lacking or dubious, and how easily and quickly value can be transported via insurance products. They should also appreciate how swiftly large amounts of money can be laundered through a firm’s insurance offerings, be they traditional insurance policies or those which have an investment element attached, such as annuities.

“A few [insurance] products, however, do pose risk,” Seitz said. “In the single premium space, for example, where you can pump in quite a lot of money right away and take it off during the cooling-off period and then reassign it in secondary market. You can even take out a loan against it,” he said.

Weak link

The insurance sector has sometimes been held out as a weak link in terms of money laundering, when compared with banks, investment banks, brokerages and funds. The traditional view has been that AML should not be a great concern for insurance companies, because launderers would be unlikely to want their funds locked up in a policy that made their money less liquid and accessible than it might be in a bank or brokerage account.

Modern launderers plan ahead.

“Particularly when dealing with politically exposed persons in an Asian context, the time horizon is not to get bribery monies out of the country. People take the long-term view and want to provide for multiple generations in advance, and insurance is a good vehicle for that,” Seitz said.

He added that policies which were cancelled within the two-week cooling-off period would typically cause some AML concerns, although he said such instances were the exception rather than the rule.

Data mining helps with AML

In Hong Kong, insurance companies filed only 1.1 percent of suspicious transaction reports last year, with comparable ratios in other major jurisdictions such as the United States. In some ways, however, insurers may actually find it relatively easy to ratchet up their AML and know your customer) compliance standards because of the information they collect on potential clients before deciding to onboard them.

“Insurance companies have been lucky to get a lot of information on their customers [upfront] to prevent fraud and payout claims,” Seitz said.

Furthermore, insurance companies have always undertaken plenty of data mining, as most of them are run by statisticians and actuaries who understand such data, he said.

“We know how to deal with reassignments, topping-up of policies, lapses of policies or giving them back [their money] after the cooling-off period, which are red flags from a money laundering perspective. We have done that as industry much earlier than most banks have,” he said.

Nomad Foods has hired Nutreco general counsel Anja Van Bergen as its new legal chief – a year after the company bought Birds Eye maker Iglo for €2.6bn.

Van Bergen has relocated from Amsterdam to London to take on the position, having led the legal team of animal nutrition and dish feed company Nutreco for nearly six years.

She was also the legal chief of design and consultancy business Arcadis, also based in the Netherlands, as well as director of legal and risk at ABN AMRO between 1989 and 1996.

Van Bergen was placed in her new role by Eximius Group head of commerce Raj Mehta after a three month search.

Nomad had been looking to recruit a legal head with experience of working in the European market, with Van Bergen heavily involved in Nutreco’s delisting from the Amsterdam Stock Exchange last year and incorporation as a private company.

In her new role, she will help Nomad build up its legal function, over a year after it bought frozen food maker Iglo from Permira for €2.6bn (£1.87bn), as well as Findus’ European businesses. The Iglo transaction saw Greenberg Traurig advise Nomad on the purchase, while Permira turned to Clifford Chance and Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom.

Since moving to Nomad, Van Bergen has been replaced at Dutch-based Nutreco by senior legal counsel Koen Laagland who has been promoted.

What is CRS?

The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) was developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to provide systematic and periodic exchange of tax residents’ financial account information between participating jurisdictions.

This global standard is built upon information sharing legislation such as the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and EU Savings Directive as a measure to improve tax transparency and counter tax evasion.

What is exchanged?

Under the CRS, jurisdictions obtain information from their financial institutions and exchange that information with other jurisdictions on an annual basis.
In brief, the CRS sets out:

1. Which financial institutions need to report
2. The types of accounts and taxpayers covered
3. Due diligence procedures
4. Financial account information to be exchanged.

Who is affected?

The CRS impacts a similar range of financial institutions (FIs) as FATCA, comprising:

• Depository institutions
• Custodial institutions
• Investment entities
• Specified insurance companies

Hong Kong will adopt a pragmatic approach to include all essential requirements of the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) standard in its domestic law –penaltie sapply to FIs, employees of FIs and third-party service providers for non-compliance.

Financial accounts held by tax residents in CRS participating countries are reportable, including:

• Individuals
• Entities–including trusts and foundations, and the requirement to look through passive entities reporting on controlling persons.

CRS implementation commitment

As at 14 April 2016, 98 jurisdictions had committed to the CRS. Over 50 jurisdictions are early adopters, with a CRS implementation date of 1 January 2016.

Financial institutions should prepare contingency plans to deal with the sudden arrest of top regulators and bankers as part of China’s anti-corruption drive, a report said. In recent weeks the Chinese authorities have moved to stamp out graft at the highest levels.

“Chief executive officers, general counsel and board level decision makers… need to address the new realities. This situation is a significant landscape change,” said Steve Vickers, chief executive of Steve Vickers and Associates (SVA), a political and corporate risk consultancy in Hong Kong, which issued the report. “Compliance officers are not really set to address these challenges.”

Activity in the compliance recruitment market in Hong Kong is cooling down, with financial institutions increasingly focusing on replacing candidates who have moved elsewhere, recruiters said.

Candidates aiming to change jobs can no longer expect the large salary increases routinely offered in previous years, and bonuses are more modest than before. When compared with the broader recruitment market, however, conditions remain good, and with demand still high for certain skill sets there are ample opportunities for qualified candidates, the Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence Hong Kong Salary Survey 2016 has found.
