Article Abstract:
Rajadamri Hotel PLC has agreed to sell 32% of its stocks to the US investment bank Goldman, Sachs and Co, making the latter the biggest shareholder of the Thai company that owns the Regent Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. Their contract of agreement is valued at $14.6 million as share price of Rajadamri was pegged at $1.01 per share. To date, Goldman, Sachs and Co's bid to have full control of Rajadamri has been set aside because Thai laws inhibit foreign investors from holding 100% of any local company.
