ASTI Holdings Limited ( (SG:575) ) has shared an update.
ASTI Holdings’ Executive Chairman and CEO Eddie Ng Yew Nam has boosted his direct stake from 10.54% to 15.65% by acquiring 40 million shares off-market at S$0.09 each, a 4.25% discount to the last traded price before a trading halt. The move makes him a controlling shareholder and signals strong personal conviction in the company’s prospects.
The purchase comes shortly after ASTI’s trading resumption in January 2026, following a two-year restructuring that left the group debt-free with a strengthened management team and a clear growth strategy in semiconductor services and R&D. The board views Ng’s increased stake as a vote of confidence in the group’s fundamentals and long-term trajectory, reinforcing its commitment to deliver sustainable value to stakeholders.
