CEVA Logistics board recommend shareholders reject CMA CGM public tender
CEVA Logistics board has recommended its shareholders do not accept a public tender by CMA CGM for the shares in the company it does not already own.
CMA CGM launched the prospectus for its tender offer on Monday offering CHF30 per share. The world's third largest container line owns a 33% stake in Swiss-headquartered CEVA after it bought into the company last year triggering a requirement to make a public tender offer.
