With a similar pace to the previous week, with around 90 director interests and substantial shareholdings filed across more than 40 primary-listed stocks over the five sessions. Directors or CEOs reported 28 acquisitions and seven disposals, while substantial shareholders recorded seven acquisitions and two disposals.

1. $EFH Ltd(8YY.SI)$  

On 8 June, Embracing Future Holdings (EFH) Executive Director and President Chen Lu acquired 83 million shares for S$3.9 million representing an average price of S$0.047 per share. The married deal increased his direct stake from 76 million shares (4.38%) to 159 million shares (9.17%).

The acquisition comes as the group continues its transition following its June 2025 rebranding from Biolidics, with management outlining a strategic pivot into healthcare initiatives, including stem cell-based treatments, alongside broader technology and platform-led segments. 

2. $Ho Bee Land(H13.SI)$

Between 3 and 8 June, Ho Bee Holdings acquired a combined 1,298,600 shares for total consideration of S$2,705,708, implying an average price of about S$2.08 per share.

These on-market purchases increased executive chairman Chua Thian Poh’s deemed interest from 75.79% to 75.98%. The accumulation was executed via the controlling shareholder vehicle, which continues to account for the bulk of the deemed interest, alongside smaller holdings attributed to related entities and spouse.

Koh Wee Seng, non-executive chairman of Aspial Lifestyle, has continued to accumulate shares through on‑market purchases between 5 and 10 June, acquiring a total of 2.57 million shares at around S$0.37 per share.

Over this period, his direct interest increased from 9.50% to 9.63%, while total interest edged up from 75.02% to 75.16%, extending an already substantial controlling stake in the group.
