The Saverys family’s Compagnie Maritime Belge has secured 92% control of CMB.Tech, formerly known as Euronav, in a rerun of bidding for shares in the shipowner.
Alexander Saverys, chief executive of both companies, couched the result of the tender as an opportunity to move forward after a mergers-and-acquisitions deal that was challenged in court.
“We can finally turn the page on the tender offer for the shares of our company,” he said.
