Positive
Material stake disclosed: The filing transparently reports ownership of 1,085,000 shares (10.7%).

Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: A disclosed 10.7% stake by a related group is material but asserted as passive in this joint 13G amendment.
The filing reports a >5% holding by AMC Fund, L.P., KCM Capital, Inc., and Kent C. McCarthy totaling 1,085,000 ordinary shares, with shared voting and dispositive power but no sole power. The disclosure follows Rule 13d-1 procedures and references the issuer's Form F-1 share count. For investors and market participants, the key takeaways are the size of the stake, the control chain (AMC < KCM < McCarthy), and the certification that the position is not intended to effect control.
TL;DR: The joint filing clarifies ownership and control relationships, meeting disclosure standards without asserting activist intent.
The amendment documents centralized disclosure: all shares are legally held by AMC Fund, L.P., with shared voting and dispositive authority reported. The signed certification affirms the shares were not acquired to change control, consistent with a passive investor profile under Schedule 13G. The filing also attaches a joint filing agreement, evidencing coordinated reporting among the related parties.
