The share price of Hunas Falls Hotels PLC rose sharply last week with talks of the controlling stake held by Hayleys Group being up for sale.
Chairman of both entities, Mohan Pandithage said two major shareholders – Carbotels Ltd. and Amaya Leisure PLC – have informed that they have been approached by a prospective buyer to purchase the shareholding. This is subject to a due diligence.
Hayleys-linked companies Carbotels Ltd. holds 50.22% stake, and Amaya Leisure has 16% stake. The other major shareholder is Jetwing Group with 15%.
