In Norse mythology, Vidfinn was the father of Hjuki and Bil. Hjuki and Bil were sent by their father to Byrgir a mead-fountain, to fetch some mead. The god of the moon kidnapped them. They can be seen (along with their cask and pole) on the face of the moon (craters). This story may be the source of the nursery rhyme called Jack and Jill. In various sources the name of the moon god vary, Mani, Gevarr, as well as the fate of the children.
BIL chief executive Greg Terry, in a release to the Stock Exchange of Singapore, said that Thistle was "by far our most important asset and this transaction demonstrates its true value".
Along with BIL at 45.9 percent, the other key shareholders in Thistle are the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, with 13 percent, and Temasek Holdings with 6 percent.
BIL shares, which ended 2 cents lower at S$0.43 on Tuesday after the announcement, slipped 3.5 percent to S$0.415 in late Wednesday trade.
