Browns Investments PLC through its subsidiary Browns Ari Resort Ltd., has completed the $ 57.5 million (Rs. 17.2 billion) sale of the assets and property of the Barceló Whale Lagoon to ASB Hotel Properties Maldives Ltd.
The company said the transaction was completed following the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
