With regards to the placement tranche, 6 investors (i lumpted ICH and Mr Toe as one) were allotted a total of 91m shares (~38% of the issuance). The names comprises some known names in the property circle such as Simon Cheong of SC Global, Low See Ching of Oxley, Teo Kee Bock from Super Group, Lin Yu Cheng from United Enivrotech,  as well as the former "S-Chip" kingpin, Han Seng Juan of Centurion and Toe Teow Heng from ICH Group.
