This decision, aimed at consolidating ownership, would result in the company’s delisting from the Nigerian Exchange (NGX).

The acquisition had already received a “no objection” ruling from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prior to the announcement, fulfilling a key regulatory requirement.

The plan, outlined under Section 715 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, mandated that any outstanding shares not owned by Excelsior Shipping Company Limited would be transferred to the majority shareholder.
