ITL Corp's decision to increase its ownership to 100% Sotrans means that ITL will buy back Gelex Logistics' stake in Sotrans. However, in the report dated July 16, 2020, ITL Corp said that it has not bought any STG shares out of a total of nearly 57.2 million registered shares because ITL Corp has signed a contract with Gelex to buy back 100 % shares in Gelex Logistics, but the transfer of ownership has not been completed.
