SOLIDERE
shares
started
the
quarter
on
a
steady
note,
trading
between
US$41/2
and
US$5
during
the
first
two
months.
Early
March,
both
shares
moved
above
US$5,
after
the
Company
announced
that
US$120
million
worth
of
built-up
space
had
been
sold
since
the
beginning
of
the
year.
By
the
quarter
end,
however,
turmoil
in
the
Middle
East
took
its
toll
on
the
shares.
Share
A
closed
the
quarter
unchanged,
at
US$45/8;
while
share
B
closed
slightly
below
US$41/2,
2.7%
lower
than
the
previous
quarter.
Trading
activity
turned
higher,
with
around
1,813,152
shares
exchanging
hands.
In
addition,
two
Special
Orders
were
executed
off
the
market
floor,
involving
2
million
B
shares
and
950,000
A
shares
at
US$51/8
each.
The

traded
on
the

Exchange,
