Byline: Sale of $30m of shares lined up while Fredriksen raises stake, writes Tony Gray
AN INSTITUTIONAL shareholder in Ship Finance International, the tanker owning subsidiary of Frontline, is set to reap a handsome profit after holding the company's equity for less than three months.
And John Fredriksen, Frontline's largest shareholder, has substantially increased his stake in Ship Finance since its New York listing in June.
Ship Finance has registered to sell up to 1.6m shares worth more than $30m on behalf of the shareholder.
According to a shelf filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, however, the company will not receive any of the proceeds.
The unidentified US institution holds 1.6m shares in Ship Finance through the vehicles Passport Master Fund LP and Passport Master Fund II LP.
