PeterLabs has been embroiled in a boardroom tussle in the past year starting in February when two substantial shareholders, including executive director Lau Kin Wai, wanted to oust seven board members.

Things took a turn in April after two shareholders issued a notice expressing their intention to remove Lau in a May annual general meeting. Lau then trimmed his stake and ceased to be a substantial shareholder on April 16, before stepping down on May 29.
