SINGAPORE (June 23): Jumbo Group, better known for its chilli crabs and seafood restuarants, is ramping up its bak kut teh business.
Jumbo on Wednesday night confirmed it has increased the issued and paid-up share capital of indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Ng Ah Sio Investments to $100,000 from $100 on Tuesday.
Ng Ah Sio, which specialises in the Teochew style of peppery bak kut teh, is one of Jumbo’s several F&B concepts including JPOT, Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine, J Café, Yoshimaru, Singapore Seafood Republic and Jumbo Catering.
Jumbo says the consideration was satisfied in cash and funded by internal resources.
This share capital increase is not expected to have a material impact on the EPS and NTA per share of the company for FY16.
As at 11.40am, shares of Jumbo are up 1.7% to 59 cents.
