A block of shares in Ajisen (China) Holdings worth HK$971.6 million ($125 million) changed hands on Friday as Daisy Poon, the founder, chairwoman and CEO, responded to reverse inquiries from investors who wanted access to more stock. The price was fixed close to the bottom of the offering range for a 9.8% discount, but demand was strong and the deal was upsized from about $100 million initially.
