High Exclusive sources close to Colombo Stock Exchange revealed CSE Leaks that High net worth investor Nimal Perera had sold his GREG or famous Environmental Resources Investment (ERI) PLC shares before the week ended 23 January 2011 as the share shot up high again to above Rs.100 and along with slight appreciations in the warrants.
However, as at 30 September 2010, according to Quarterly report of ERI PLC Nimal Perera had 2.34 million GREG shares which amounted to 0.75% of the company.
Some sources say that he has sold this stake to put money for Vallibel One IPO where he is also on Director board; However it could be now derived according to our analysis may be that Nimal Perera had applied for a few more shares of Vallibel One to profit from CSE when it is listed and since he would have applied by a Bank Guarantee he would have sold his GREG shares to partly settle the money for Bank Guarantee’s Bank Charges.
