ADQ announces results of the voluntary tender offer for Aramex
Shareholders who did not tender during the Offer Period can sell their shares until 24 March 2025, 3:00pm UAE Time
Abu Dhabi, UAE – 11 March 2024: ADQ, an active sovereign investor with a focus on critical infrastructure and global supply chains, has announced the results of the voluntary tender offer (the “Offer”) for Aramex PJSC (“Aramex”) submitted by its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Q Logistics Holding LLC (the “Offeror”).
Through the Offer, which closed on 10 March 2025, Q Logistics has obtained acceptances for shares in Aramex, representing 35.31% of the company's shares. In addition to this, Abu Dhabi Ports Company PJSC (AD Ports Group) owns 22.69% of the company's shares.
The aggregate acceptances, together with the shareholding of AD Ports Group, amounts to 58% of the shares in Aramex which exceeds the minimum acceptance conditions for the Offer specified in Article 9(2) of the SCA’s Board of Directors Decision No. (18 / R.M) of 2017 concerning the Mergers and Acquisition Rules for Public Joint Stock Companies ( Acquisition Regulations ).
Subsequent to the closing of the Offer Period, pursuant to Article 32 (2) of the Acquisition Regulations the Offeror will continue to accept shares from shareholders who did not tender during the Offer Period until 3:00pm (UAE time) on 24 March 2025.

Subject to conditions including the settlement process, ADQ will become the majority shareholder in the company. As stated in the offer document, as a majority shareholder, the Offeror has plans to support the transformation of Aramex, which it expects to be complex, capital intensive and to take time, which may consequently limit the perspective of short to medium-term return for shareholders.

-
