GK Goh Holdings Ltd.’s largest shareholders have offered to take the Singapore-listed company private in a S$396 million ($294 million) deal, potentially ending its 33-year journey as a publicly-traded firm.

Goh Geok Khim and Goh Yew Lin, who own a 63% stake, proposed to buy out the remaining GK Goh shares for S$1.26 each in cash, according to an exchange statement on Tuesday, which confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report. The offer price gives investors a premium of around 38.5% to the last closing price on Feb. 24.
