HG Metal Manufacturing's five executive directors sold a total of 6.8
million shares at 64 cents apiece in a married deal on Monday this
week. Executive chairman Tan Chan Too sold 1.5 million shares and now
holds just a 6.36 per cent stake from 7.5 per cent previously. Chief
executive Wee Piew's stake now stands at 0.77 per cent from 1.6 per
cent after selling 1.1 million shares. Executive director Lee Leng
Loke's holdings were pared to 2.11 per cent from 2.64 per cent after he
sold 700,000 shares, while executive director Tian Chye Heng's stake
was reduced to 7.18 per cent from 8.7 per cent from the sale of 2
million shares. Executive director Tan Ah Bee sold 1.5 million shares
and now holds 5.92 per cent from 7.05 per cent before the transaction.
Sources close to the deal had told BT on Monday that the buyers of the
shares were high net-worth individuals who are involved in the oil and
gas and marine industries. HG Metal, a steel products supplier, saw its
shares fall two cents or 2.9 per cent yesterday to close at 66.5 cents.
