LHN to delist from Hong Kong Stock Exchange

It cited low investor interest and high compliance costs as key reasons.

LHN Limited has announced plans to voluntarily delist from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), following unanimous approval by its board of directors on 30 June 2025.

The company cited low investor interest and high compliance costs as key reasons. Over the past year, average daily trading volume on HKEX fell to just 64,366 shares—only 0.02% of LHN’s total trading activity across both HKEX and SGX-ST.

LHN said the secondary listing in Hong Kong has failed to attract meaningful liquidity or provide fundraising opportunities, while continuing to incur significant regulatory and operational costs.

After the delisting, LHN will maintain its primary listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX-ST). Shareholders holding shares on HKEX can either retain them (though they will no longer be tradeable on HKEX) or deposit them with the Central Depository (CDP) for trading on SGX-ST.

The proposed delisting is subject to shareholder approval at an upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and approval by HKEX’s Listing Committee.

LHN stated the move will not affect its net asset value, earnings per share, or business operations. Instead, it expects the delisting to bring cost savings and improve operational efficiency.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
