What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sanlam launched a takeover bid for Santam, which is already majority-owned by Sanlam. The proposal offers R505 per share to acquire the remaining shares, which would result in Santam being delisted from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Namibian Securities Exchange, and A2X if approved. The offer represents a 26.6% premium over Santam’s share price of R399 at the time of the announcement.

The proposed transaction would remove a significant source of trading activity from the Namibian Securities Exchange. Santam has accounted for 5.15% of the exchange’s total equity turnover this year, making it one of the more significant contributors to local trading activity.
