The tender was launched on August 18 and targets up to 100 percent of AD Ports Group shares not currently held by ADQ. Market commentary indicates the offer has received board support.

Outstanding regulatory steps#

AD Ports Group confirmed receipt of notification from ADQ stating that all conditions in the offer document have been met, except for customary filings required by the Capital Market Authority and ADX. These are characterised as routine notifications rather than substantive regulatory approvals. The tender targets approximately 24.6 percent of AD Ports Group equity not presently owned by ADQ, according to market sources tracking the transaction.

The cash offer was submitted through ADQ as the acquiring entity. Accepting shareholders will receive AED 6.25 per share with no alternative consideration disclosed. The tender remains open until the settlement date, with simultaneous payment and share transfer on completion. The transaction is structured as a voluntary tender, meaning shareholders may choose whether to accept the offer at the stated price.
