Stonebridge Corp., a company chaired by the wife of Far Eastern University chairman emeritus Aurelio Montinola III, acquired a 9-percent stake in Roxas and Company Inc. , one of the top-performing stocks in the market.
The acquisition price is a steep 38.2-percent discount to RCI’s closing price on Friday of P3.24. Shares of RLI recently hit a 52-week high of P4.
