Seems like Hapag Lloyd sweetened their offer to acquire ZIM by offering $35/sh to acquire ZIM - a major bump to ZIM’s closing price on 02/13/26. But, there’s a few hurdles.

- State of Israel has a “golden share” - which gives them power to veto any deal
- Hapag Lloyd has Saudi’s and Qatar interests as significant shareholders.
