In a significant development, NNS Holding (Cyprus) Limited announced on June 24, 2026, its intention to initiate a voluntary all-cash offer for all issued shares of OCI NV.

This strategic move by NNS Holding is designed to offer OCI NV shareholders a viable alternative to the proposed merger with Orascom Construction PLC, which has been a source of contention. By presenting a clear and financially backed proposal, NNS Holding aims to resolve the impasse and provide a pathway forward for OCI NV, ensuring that shareholders have a choice in the company’s future direction. The outcome of this offer could significantly impact OCI NV’s strategic trajectory and its position within the global chemicals industry.
