Jacky Cheung’s concert cited as possible reason behind Unusual’s unusual trading activity

EVENTS company Unusual Limited has been seeing some unusual activities in the trading of its stock.

Its shares rose 13.6 per cent or S$0.022 to close at S$0.18 on Tuesday (May 2).

In response to queries from the Singapore Exchange on possible factors behind its unusual trading activities, the company replied via a bourse filing on Tuesday that the response to ticket sales for an upcoming concert by Cantopop singer Jacky Cheung has been overwhelming.

“Other than this, the company is also not aware of any other possible explanation for the unusual price and volume movements in the trading activity of the company’s shares,” read the filing.

Prior to this, trading activity of the Catalist-listed company’s shares have generally been quite muted, with prices usually hovering at S$0.14.
