DECEMBER 12, 2022 – Yellow Point Equity Partners III LP (“Fund III” or the “Fund”) is pleased to announce the completion of the sale of its equity interest in Strait Group Ltd. (“Strait” or the “Company”). On December 12, Fund III sold its stake in Strait to a member of the Company’s management team.
