Clarification in today’s Business Times story

In today’s Business Times section, an error has crept in, in the use of the word ‘compulsorily’ in the 2nd paragraph of the Page 1 story headlined ‘Linde Group acquires 95% stake in Ceylon Oxygen’.

The word ‘compulsorily’ should be deleted. Thus the quote should read as …“The offer, which has become unconditional, will close on November 12, after which Linde intends to acquire the outstanding minority shares held by shareholders who have not accepted the offer, under relevant Sri Lankan legislation to give it 100 % ownership of Ceylon Oxygen,” it said.
