Barloworld extends R23bn buyout offer amid shareholder delays

The stand-by offer for Barloworld shareholders to accept the R23 billion offer by Saudi Arabian firm Zahid Group in concert with Barloworld CEO Dominic Sewela, closed on Friday, again with insufficient shareholder support, but Barloworld's independent board has extended the offer to June 30.

The initial offer for the international heavy industrial equipment and food and ingredient solutions group was first made in February 2024, but shareholders raised issues about transparency, possible conflicts of interest due to the CEO's participation, and some shareholders wanted a better offer than R120 per share, while the shareholder vote failed.
