Wee Family Increase Stake Uol
Wee Ee Lim, chairman of UOL, and his brother, director Wee Ee Chao, have recently increased their ownership of the company by purchasing shares from the open market through their investment firm, Wee Investments. As the brothers are considered interested parties in UOL, their actions have raised interest among investors.
CEO and director of Kheng Leong Company, the Wee family’s privately held real estate development and investment firm, Wee Ee Chao has also joined his brother in purchasing UOL shares. The late billionaire banker, Wee Cho Yaw, who passed away in February, was the father of both brothers.
On June 27, Wee Investments acquired 163,700 UOL shares for a total of $851,102.49, at a price of $5.19916 per share. The following day, the firm made another purchase of 263,000 shares for a total of $1.37 million at $5.199 per share.
With these recent acquisitions, Wee Investments now holds a 15.79% stake in UOL, representing a slight increase from 15.74% before June 27. This move has caught the attention of investors and has stirred up discussions about the possible future plans of the Wee family for UOL.
In other news, the group behind Hotel 81, which is owned by UOL, has recently acquired the Parkroyal Kitchener Hotel from the company for $525 million. This development has also sparked discussions about the future direction of the property and its potential impact on UOL’s overall business.
As of July 5, shares in UOL closed 2 cents higher at $5.27, up by 0.38%. With the recent developments and the Wee brothers’ increased stake in the company, investors will be closely monitoring UOL’s performance and its future plans.
