The share purchase was done by Lee's family investment vehicle F.H. Lee Holdings through married deal at S$1.53 per share.
As a result, Lee's family now have a combined stake of 29 percent from 28.06 percent earlier, which is still below the 30 percent threshold that would trigger a mandatory general offer.
