Squircle Capital, a prominent force in the investment realm, has rattled the marine industry with its latest business move. Making a splash much like a galleon in full sail, the investment firm has propelled itself to the helm of the MB92 Group by obtaining 100% ownership.
MB92 Group is renowned for its world-class refit shipyard, now fully under the controlling stake of Squircle Capital. This powerful statement of confidence by the behemoth investment firm stands to significantly shift gears in the marine industry.
Historically, Squircle Capital was the group’s leading shareholder. Now, with the entire ownership in its hands, the firm intensifies its foray into the maritime business, strengthening its already impressive portfolio.
The allure of yacht production company Ferretti has seemingly failed to captivate the shareholders’ imaginations. Following a lacklustre response to KKCG Maritime’s initial partial tender offer, expressed in negligible numbers and silence from the shareholder body, an increased bid has been tabled. In the yachting industry, few things are as exciting as a takeover, and few as intricate. The complexity of this situation lies not only in the size of the deal but in the apparent reluctance of the shareholders to embrace the change.
