    KERRY Mok, the chief executive of inflight caterer and ground handler Sats , wants shareholders to know he is looking out for their interests.

    Since Sats announced some details about a proposed acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) last week – details that included a potential rights issue to raise S$1.7 billion – the counter has lost about 24 per cent of its value.

    In an interview with The Business Times, Mok stressed that the rights issue is just one of four funding sources for the deal.
