Both men own a combined stake of 41.3% in the coffeeshop operator.
RHB Group Research analyst Jarick Seet has kept his “buy” call on Kimly with an unchanged target price of 46 cents after the coffeeshop operator decided not to engage former executive chairman Lim Hee Liat and former executive director Chia Cher Khiang as its independent consultants.
While Kimly had previously wanted to continue tapping the duo’s experience and expertise following their conviction for breaching the Securities and Futures Act (SFA), the group’s stakeholders felt otherwise.
