AMSTERDAM, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OCI Global N.V. ("OCI" or the "Company") (Euronext: OCI) today confirms that it has received a statement from NNS Holding (Cyprus) Limited ("NNS") confirming its intention to launch a voluntary all-cash public offer (the "Offer") for all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of OCI at an offer price of EUR 4.10 cum dividend per share.
Process and assessment
After NNS submitted a first proposal for a cash offer on 11 May 2026, the Board of Directors of OCI (excluding Nassef Sawiris and Nadia Sawiris, who have not participated in any of the discussions, deliberations and decision-making) and NNS have been in discussions regarding a potential cash offer in connection with the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC to resolve the current impasse.
The Board of Directors of OCI have carefully assessed and evaluated NNS' proposals for a voluntary all-cash offer, supported by its independent financial and legal advisers, and have considered it against alternative scenarios including a solvent wind-down.
The Board of Directors of OCI, other than the Enterprise Court appointed Members, maintains that the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC represents a compelling strategic outcome for OCI and its stakeholders, while also recognizing that certain shareholders expressed a preference for a cash exit alternative. We note that NNS states that the Offer is intended to provide a way out of the impasse surrounding the proposed transaction with Orascom Construction PLC. The Board of Directors of OCI, other than the Enterprise Court appointed members, concluded that it is in the best interest of OCI's minority shareholders that any cash offer includes the possibility for OCI's shareholders to participate in the combination with the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC, which view has been confirmed by various large shareholders in recent communications.
The Board of Directors of OCI, other than the Enterprise Court appointed members, therefore, supports a cash offer at EUR 4.10 per share in combination with the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC.
The Enterprise Court appointed members have not yet taken a decision whether they support the Offer and whether they consent with the convocation of an Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC. The Board of Directors awaits the decision of the Enterprise Court appointed members.
Next steps
The Board of Directors of OCI remains fully committed to unlocking the existing impasse and intends to provide a further update, including with respect to the transaction with Orascom Construction PLC, as soon as possible, recognizing that OCI's stakeholders expect certainty in the near future.

Das Österreichische Rote Kreuz warnt vor Beginn der Urlaubssaison vor niedrigen Blutreserven und ruft die Bevölkerung dringend zum Spenden auf. Blut könne nicht künstlich hergestellt werden, eine Konserve sei nur 42 Tage haltbar und werde in Österreich im Schnitt alle 90 Sekunden benötigt, heißt es aus der Organisation. Ziel ist es, die Versorgung der Spitäler mit dem lebenswichtigen Notfallmedikament auch in den Sommermonaten abzusichern.
Bundesrettungskommandant Gerry Foitik verweist darauf, dass der Bedarf an Blutkonserven keinen Urlaub kenne. Blut werde nicht nur für Operationen benötigt, sondern ebenso für Geburten, Krebstherapien und die Behandlung verschiedener Erkrankungen. Gerade vor dem Sommer sei es daher wichtig, einen Termin zur Blutspende zu vereinbaren, betont Foitik. Spendenzeiten und -orte sind auf der Plattform blut.at gelistet, über die auch Terminreservierungen möglich sind.
Am Sonntag, dem 14. Juni, fallen Vatertag und Weltblutspendetag zusammen – ein Datum, das das Rote Kreuz für eine groß angelegte Aktion in Wien nutzt. In der „Arena 21“ im Museumsquartier (Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien) können Interessierte zwischen 10 und 12 Uhr sowie von 13 bis 16 Uhr Blut spenden. „Mit einer Blutspende retten Sie Leben“, sagt Simon Gänsdorfer, Leiter der Blutspende für Wien, Niederösterreich und das Burgenland. Die Aktion ist auch als Familienevent angelegt und soll insbesondere jüngere Menschen für das Thema sensibilisieren.
Begleitet wird die Veranstaltung im Museumsquartier von DJ-Musik, Vitamin-Mocktails, Gewinnspielen und einer Kids Area. Das Rote Kreuz setzt damit bewusst auf ein niederschwelliges Angebot, um Hemmschwellen beim Blutspenden zu senken und zusätzliche Zielgruppen anzusprechen. Neben der Sonderaktion am Weltblutspendetag bleibt die Blutspendezentrale in Wien (Wiedner Hauptstraße 32, 1040 Wien) ganzjährig geöffnet; auch in allen anderen Bundesländern bestehen laufend Möglichkeiten zur Blutspende.
