ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. shares rose 15% on Monday after reports emerged that CEO Eli Glickman and a group of executives are pursuing a bid to take the company private, valued at up to $2.4 billion. The deal represents a significant premium to ZIM's market cap of about $1.87 billion and could remove the company from the public market.
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) saw its shares rise by 15% on Monday, following reports that CEO Eli Glickman and a group of executives are exploring a bid to take the company private. The reported acquisition offer values ZIM at up to $2.4 billion, representing a significant premium over its previous market capitalization of approximately $1.87 billion [1].The group, which includes businessman Rami Ungar, plans to buy ZIM shares at $20 each, which would value the company at $2.4 billion. Ungar intends to merge ZIM with his company Ray Shipping in a cash-and-stock deal, potentially bringing in Greek investors to facilitate the transaction [1].
The reported privatization bid comes as ZIM navigates challenging market conditions in the global container shipping industry, which is still adjusting to post-COVID trade patterns. ZIM has maintained its routes through the Red Sea despite recent security concerns in the region [2].
The stock's surge reflects investor interest in the potential premium offered in the reported privatization bid, which would represent approximately a 28% premium to ZIM's previous valuation [2].
