HD 143418 is a non-eclipsing double-lined close binary with orbital period Porb=2.282520 d. The photometrically and spectroscopically dominant primary component is a normal A5V star in the middle of its stay on the main sequence with extremely slow, subsynchronous rotation (Prot being about 14 days!). Its photometric monitoring since 1982 revealed orbitally modulated variations with changing form and amplitude. The advanced principal component analysis (APCA) disentangling extract-ed a steady part of light curves obviously caused by the ellipticity of the primary. Seasonal components of the light curves may be related to an expected incidence of circumstellar matter ejected from the tidally spinning up primary component. A possible scenario of the synchronisation process is also briefly discussed.
