Transaction details and Bursa filing

As reported by The Edge Malaysia, citing a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Mastrack acquired 4.91 million AWC shares, representing a 5.85% stake, in a direct business transaction on Thursday.

Lee, the former chief executive officer of Atlan Holdings Bhd, became a major shareholder in AWC following the purchase. Previously, he held a direct 0.327% stake in AWC.

Lee stepped down as Atlan’s group chief executive officer just over a month ago to take on the role of group adviser, after leading the company for slightly more than a year.
