AEL’imad, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign investment vehicle, has cleared all necessary conditions to proceed with a voluntary cash offer to acquire up to 100% of AD Ports Group. ADQ, a subsidiary of L’imad, is offering $1.70 per share for AD Ports shares it does not already own, with the settlement expected by October 9, 2026. This acquisition would grant L’imad full control over AD Ports, allowing the ports and logistics firm to focus on long-term growth strategies such as acquisitions without the pressures of being publicly listed.

The deal aligns with L’imad’s broader strategy to consolidate strategic assets across various sectors in Abu Dhabi.
