L’imad to Increase Stake in AD Ports Group to Over 98.5%

Abu Dhabi sovereign investor L’imad is set to increase its ownership in AD Ports Group to more than 98.5% following a voluntary tender offer, with settlement expected by October 9, 2026.

Abu Dhabi's sovereign investor, L’imad, is poised to significantly increase its shareholding in AD Ports Group to over 98.5 per cent. This follows a successful voluntary tender offer, which saw all conditions met and is scheduled for settlement no later than October 9, 2026.

The offer was initiated through L’imad’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ). The statutory window for the tender offer commenced on August 18, 2026, and concluded on September 15, 2026.

Previously, L’imad held a 75.4 per cent stake in AD Ports Group. The new acquisition will consolidate its control over the company, aligning AD Ports Group more closely with L’imad’s broader strategic holdings in the logistics and infrastructure sectors. These holdings include Etihad Rail and Aramex, underscoring L’imad's commitment to developing key economic platforms in the region.

The tender offer was priced at Dh6.25 per share, representing a 23 per cent premium over AD Ports Group's last closing price before the announcement on August 17, 2026. This price also marked a 25 per cent premium to the one-month volume-weighted average price and a 31 per cent premium to the three-month average.

Final steps for the transaction include customary notifications to the Capital Market Authority and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). The payment of consideration to AD Ports Group shareholders and the registration of shares in ADQ's name are also slated for completion by the October 9, 2026 deadline.
