Wolhardt is chief operating officer of Hong Kong-based Dehong Capital Partners. He was married in Scotland and previously worked for Asian Investment firm KKR when it bought a large stake in German side Hertha Berlin
Speaking when he bought his shareholding, Wolhardt said: "I have a long held love for Scotland and football and I am keen to see Rangers FC unlock its considerable commercial potential.''
Chairman Dave King claimed at the time that Wolhardt's decision to invest was "exciting'' for the club.
