Investors’ apparent surprise came even though Euronav’s main shareholder, family-controlled Compagnie Maritime Belge, increased its stake to more than 25%, with the apparent goal of crippling the deal.
That’s odd because the terms looked increasingly favourable to Euronav shareholders: Frontline’s net asset value had jumped 43% between the deal’s announcement and December, against 21% for its Belgian target, Jefferies reckoned. De Stoop is now stuck running a smaller company than he had hoped, and with a large investor whose plans for its stake are unclear. The next question is how long they can both stay in the same boat.
