In a separate filing, Oxley Amethyst, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxley Holdings, has exercised the option to purchase a freehold property along Balestier Road for S$38 million from Owen Pte Ltd, in which the former's chief executive is a significant shareholder.

Oceanus Group: The abalone company has completed its debt restructuring exercise, putting the group in a debt-free and "net cash positive" position by the end of its financial year 2017.
