Since these existing stockholders are Alphaland related parties, the issuances will be submitted for the approval of the stockholders during the annual meeting in May.
Public ownership will be reduced to 0.83 percent, prompting the executive committee to schedule a follow-on offering in the third quarter to ensure compliance with the local bourse’s minimum public ownership requirement of 10 percent.
