Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, who has been Asia's richest person for nearly two decades and the leading shareholder in Canada's Husky Energy Inc., announced Friday a reorganization of his sprawling conglomerate into two new listed companies.
Li and members of his family control Hong Kong-listed Cheung Kong and its affiliate Hutchison Whampoa which together control roughly 70 per cent of Calgary-based Husky.
Through a series of stock transactions, which are subject to various approvals, the Hong Kong-based conglomerate will be reborn as a company overseeing all of its real estate assets and a second company for non-property businesses, including the Husky shares.
The 86-year-old Li said in a statement that the reorganization was a "watershed" moment which will result in better returns for shareholders. Investors dislike the existing corporate structure because it lumps together diverse businesses, making them hard to value.
The announcement also foreshadows a change in leadership, with Li expected to eventually hand the reins to his eldest son Victor.
Li has a fortune of $33.5 billion, according to Forbes. He is nicknamed Superman in Hong Kong for his money making abilities. His businesses operate in more than 50 countries and employ 270,000 people.
