CMB.Tech Supplementary payment of $0.52 on former bid price and bid reopened

On September 6th the market court of Brussels ruled on a case between CMB (reference shareholder of CMB.Tech, formerly Euronav) and FourWorld. The court found that the pricing of certain vessels sold by Euronav to Frontline last November implied certain special benefits to Frontline. The Court calculated these benefits to be $0.52 per Euronav share. In connection with CMB's mandatory takeover bid for Euronav (presently CMB.Tech) earlier this year, the FSMA now made public its decision to require that the bid price be increased by $0.52 per share. The bid should be reopened at a price of $12.66 per share taking into account the cash distribution since announcing the tender offer.
