ZIM Integrated Shipping Services' (ZIM) proposed $4.2 billion sale to Germany's Hapag-Lloyd and Israel's FIMI investment fund is set to be rejected by Israeli regulators, tech news outlet Calcalist reported Sunday.
A decision on the sale is expected in the coming month but the deal is unlikely to be approved, with a majority of regulating agencies "expected to oppose the deal," the report sid.
After the rejection, Hapag-Lloyd and FIMI will be granted a hearing at Israel's Companies Authority to make a final case to persuade regulators, the report said.
Hapag-Lloyd, FIMI, and Zim did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
