THAI BEVERAGE tycoon Chareon Sirivadhanabhakdi’s heirs will invest Bt850 million to acquire 200 million newly issued ordinary shares in Amarin Printing and Publishing in the wake of a massive revenue decline in printed media and fierce competition in the digital TV business.

 

The 40-year-old Amarin Printing told the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) that it would issue 200 million new ordinary shares, with a par value of Bt1 per share, to be allocated and offered in a private placement to Vadhanabhakdi Co, which is owned by Thapana and Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, sons of Thai billionaire Chareon.

Be careful the ink could still be wet on these. Sounds like a bad investment to me. Maybe the father is trying to teach the sons how to turn a failing business around. They apparently must have a lot of steep tax losses that could be of benefit. Sounds like the tycoon typhoon here could see his investment turn into a trickle. Kind of out of character but the we do not know all the things at play. He might just be playing a role like in the Karate Kid. Wax on Wax off. 

Never mind, just another plaything & we need the tax deduction for the next 3 years anyway

They have some form in this sector:  the family are also majority owners of Asia Books.
