Construction company Group Five on Monday reported that the State-owned Public Investment Corporation (PIC) had increased its stake in the company to 20.135%. Group Five shareholders are due to meet on July 24 to vote in new board members. This follows after activist shareholder Allan Gray in May requested that an extraordinary general meeting be held to reconstitute the Group Five board, owing to a disagreement with the current board on the future direction of the company.
