Closure of the Offer and Share Acceptance
The offer was executed flawlessly, garnering valid acceptances for around 104 million shares, which reflects an impressive 96.59% ownership of Ban Leong. Notably, a substantial portion of this acceptance came from Mr. Teng Woo Boon Ronald and his wife, further indicating the close ties GCL has with the company's leadership.
