All crucial conditions for ADQ's voluntary cash offer to acquire the remaining shares in AD Ports Group have been fulfilled, with settlement anticipated to occur by October 9, 2026. L'IMAD, via its wholly-owned subsidiary ADQ, stated that the sole remaining tasks are a few standard notifications that must be filed with the Capital Market Authority and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
The Dh6.25 cash offer, which remains open, entitles shareholders to Dh6.25 per AD Ports Group share they accept under the offer. The offer is valid until 3pm on September 15, 2026. Abu Dhabi sovereign investor L'IMAD is seeking to acquire up to 100% of AD Ports Group. Following the Strait of Hormuz disruption, AD Ports expanded its fleet to encompass trucks, ships, and air cargo routes.
L'IMAD submitted the voluntary tender offer through ADQ on August 18, aiming to secure ownership of up to 100% of AD Ports Group's shares that ADQ does not already possess. The company received confirmation from AD Ports Group that all conditions stipulated in the offer document, except for the typical notifications required by the Capital Market Authority and ADX, have been met.
The payment to shareholders who accept the offer and the transfer of the acquired shares to ADQ are projected to be completed by October 9.
