He was recently interviewed by a New Zealand publication known as The List, which tracks the network of the country’s richest entrepreneurs and business leaders. Henry mentioned the term “Eurasian fluff” when describing the founder of My Food Bag, a firm listed on the New Zealand Exchange at the same time as his firm.
Simon blamed My Food Bag’s poor performance on a photo of Nadia Lim barbecuing chicken on a grill as the main reason behind the firm’s disappointing performance. However, the comments couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead, my Food Bag’s poor performance has been attributed to the sustained selling from institutional investors who backed the company before its IPO.
It is never a good sign when early investors want to cash out their shares immediately after an IPO. Another reason behind the meal kit home delivery company’s troubles was that it appointed a new board shortly below its listing raising questions.
DGL shares have since fallen massively after different publications highlighted Henry’s comments amid a massive investor exodus in reaction to Henry’s comments.
