Nelson Mejia Vargas, legal representative of Cebu Quindio Corp., said the sale of the company’s assets has been approved by the board of directors--Lehder, who is the majority stockholder, and his three brothers. The corporation controls numerous landholdings and other assets in Lehder’s native Quindio province--part of a total fortune estimated at some $270 million.
