A Constellation of Stars Shine at LANDMARK Honoring Eternal Maternal Love with the Brilliance of Natural Diamonds
As LANDMARK’s inaugural large-scale promotion centred on natural diamonds, this celebration embodies De Beers Group’s vision of celebrating life’s precious moments with natural diamonds while deepening public appreciation for their unique value and enduring legacy. Over two weeks, the pure brilliance of natural diamonds intertwines with the warmth of familial bonds, creating an immersive experience that blends heartfelt emotions, timeless heritage, and unparalleled luxury.
Selected public spaces across LANDMARK, including Chater House, Alexandra House, and the 2nd floor of LANDMARK, have been transformed into an artistic haven, showcasing interactive installations crafted by Hong Kong-based artist Kitty Wong. These installations tenderly capture the essence of a mother’s love, tracing the journey of love that deepens with time. This powerful connection mirrors the journey of natural diamonds, rooted in legacy and passed through generations, symbolising deep gratitude, lasting connection, and cherished memories. Guests are invited to explore a curated ‘diamond route’ map, guiding them through engaging activations and exclusive promotions, inviting exploration of the distinctive jewellery and watch boutiques at LANDMARK. Members of LANDMARK’s BESPOKE loyalty programme are entitled to receive additional 1x BESPOKE rewards points for single-receipt natural diamond purchases above HKD50,000 from selected LANDMARK tenants* during the campaign period. (Please refer to the BESPOKE official page for more information.)
To elevate the festive spirit, LANDMARK presents two limited-time activities to create unforgettable memories with visiting guests:
- From now until 9 May, guests who capture a photo at the Ferris Wheel installation on LANDMARK’s 2nd floor, follow @landmarkhk and @adiamondisforever on Instagram, sharing their photo with hashtags #TheGiftOfForever, #Landmarkhk, and #ADiamondisForever are entitled to redeem a limited-edition “The Gift of Forever” doughnut from Pinky Bakery. Available to the first 50 guests daily, on a first-come, first-served basis.

(Details subjected to LANDMARK’s official information.)
The exclusive “Natural Diamond Workshops” presented for our distinguished guests, has successfully concluded. Attendees described it as an unforgettable experience in diamond exploration.Guided by experts from the De Beers Institute of Diamonds, participants delved into the 4Cs—colour, cut, carat size, and clarity—while experiencing the rare opportunity to approach a 297-carat rough diamond and kimberlite rock, the natural cradle of diamonds. State-of-the-art detection instruments amazed guests by distinguishing natural from lab-grown diamonds in seconds with absolute precision, sparking lively discussions. The workshops also showcased the Entice collection pieces by diamond supplier KGK Group, featuring nearly 100-carat of breathtaking natural diamond jewelleries, embodying the stones’ unparalleled brilliance.
Enriching the workshops, London-based multi-disciplinary artist Annette Fernando contributed three charcoal drawings, intricately depicting the formation and radiance of natural diamonds. Her works seamlessly blend diamond motifs with spatial artistry, which symbolises purity and eternity, resonating with the campaign’s theme whilst evoking timeless radiance. Fernando shared, “My drawings trace the diamond’s journey, using charcoal—a medium tied to diamonds through their shared carbon origins, yet transformed by nature’s diverse processes. This echoes the resilience and unique beauty of maternal love.” Her creations offered guests a profound visual and emotional experience.

Lange & Söhne, Bovet, Boghossian, Buccellati, Bvlgari, Cartier, CHANEL (Fine Jewellery Boutique), Chopard, De Beers London, DIOR, F.P.Journe, Hermès, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lane Joaillier, Louis Vuitton, Patek Philippe, Tiffany & Co., Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Wai Kee Jewellers, and Yewn.

Asia Coach Group Partners with Veteran Business Consultant Rick Tam to Launch “Business Breakthrough” Programme for Hong Kong SMEs
Challenging Business Environment Demands New Solutions
Hong Kong’s SMEs are facing unprecedented operational pressures. According to a survey by CPA Australia, 37% of small businesses in Hong Kong struggle to obtain external financing. Data from Airwallex further reveals that 96% of SMEs have experienced cash flow difficulties in the past year. With property asset values declining, banks’ insistence on property collateral for loans has left many enterprises in financial distress.
Responding to Market Needs with Systematic Business Upgrade Solutions
“Hong Kong has never lacked capital—what’s missing is the mechanism to connect businesses with it,” Rick Tam noted. The programme addresses common pain points faced by local SMEs, including declining profits, low business valuations, tight cash flow, and recruitment challenges. Built upon the four-pillar framework of “Commerce, Strategy, Breakthrough, and Structure,” the curriculum covers stabilising cash flow and enhancing financial flexibility, repositioning businesses and improving client quality, reshaping product value and expanding profit margins, as well as systematising operations and attracting investors. The programme commits to helping participants improve cash flow, increase business value, and strengthen their business models within 90 days.
Four Practical Tools for Immediate Application
Participants will acquire four core tools: the “Cash Flow Vortex System” for rapid assessment of financial status and establishing safety buffers; the “A.T.C. Client Leverage Ladder” for repositioning and enhancing client value; the “High-Value Breakthrough Method” for creating products with greater value and trust; and the “Marketing Triangle Matrix” for integrating human resources, client bases, and operational systems to plan business expansion. The programme adopts a six-step progressive model—from restructuring business models, improving profit margins, attracting capital injection, building high-performance teams, and systematising operations, to ultimately helping business owners reclaim their time and freedom.
Instructor Credentials
Programme instructor Rick Tam is a graduate of the University of Hong Kong’s Business School and currently serves as CEO of two family offices and chief consultant to several others. He holds the CFPCM Certified Financial Planner designation. Tam has founded more than nine brands spanning wealth management, securities, and food and beverage sectors, and has guided over 1,000 participants through business expansion.
As Hong Kong’s economy seeks transformation, channelling capital precisely into the real economy through the “Business Breakthrough” approach offers more than a lifeline for SMEs—it injects vital momentum into Hong Kong’s long-term economic development.

International Entertainment Corporation to Hold EGM on 26 February 2026 for Proposed Convertible Notes Issuance
DigiPlus Interactive Corp., named as one of the Fortune Southeast Asia 500, together with its subsidiaries, is an innovative digital entertainment group in the Philippines and is a leader in the casinos and gaming industry. On 17 November 2025, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to issue and the Subscriber conditionally agreed to subscribe for the Notes in two tranches with a maturity of five years and an interest rate of 3% per annum.
Upon full conversion of the Notes at the initial Conversion Price, a total of 1,600,000,000 Shares will be issued by the Company, representing approximately 53.89% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue and allotment of the Conversion Shares. As such, the Subscriber will be obliged to make a mandatory general offer pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, unless the Whitewash Waiver is granted and approved.
The initial Conversion Price of HK$1.00 per Conversion Share represents a discount of approximately 3.85% to the closing price of HK$1.04 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date (6 February 2026).
The board of Directors (the “Board“) believes that the Subscription would be beneficial to improving and strengthening the Group’s liquidity and financial position on a longer-term basis. In the event that the Subscriber converts part or the full amount of the Notes into the Conversion Shares, it will also broaden the shareholder and capital base of the Company. The Group intends to apply part of the net proceeds raised from the issuance of the Notes of approximately HK$489.22 million for the early repayment of the Promissory Notes and interest accrued thereon (the “PN Repayment“), and approximately HK$392.39 million to early repay the Secured Bank Borrowing to achieve immediate interest savings.
The remaining net proceeds will primarily be used for funding the Investment Commitment and attractive investment/business opportunity(ies); and as general working capital of the Group. The Investment Commitment is currently expected to include capital investments for acquisition of land for the expansion of the Group’s integrated resort in Manila City in the Philippines (the ”Hotel”) and the construction of additional hotel rooms, for provision of other amenities of the integrated resort, and for ongoing upgrades, refurbishments and renovations to the facilities and infrastructures of both the Hotel and the Group’s existing casino (the “Casino“).
The Independent Board Committee, which comprises all the independent non-executive Directors, is of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver and the Special Deal (the PN Repayment to the PN Holder) are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver and the Special Deal are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. It, therefore, recommends the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM.
