ZIM Says Multiple Bidders Pursue Buyout as Board Rejects Management Offer

The company set expectations for no further updates until a decision, with no assurance of a transaction.

Overview

  • The board said it has received competitive proposals from multiple strategic parties to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares and is evaluating them.
  • A revised bid from an entity owned by CEO Eli Glickman and Rami Ungar was deemed to significantly undervalue the company and was declined.
  • The strategic review is in advanced stages and includes options such as a full sale as well as capital allocation and potential shareholder returns.
  • The board emphasized there is no guarantee the process will result in any transaction and that it plans no additional updates until an agreement or conclusion.
  • Shares rose after the update, gaining 8.65% after-hours to $21.60, moving up 7.6% pre-market to $21.38, and trading Tuesday about 5.1% higher near $20.89.
