Ceva said that a CHF30 (USD30) per share public tender offer by CMA CGM is likely to go through; the offer from CMA CGM was agreed in October after a takeover bid from Denmark’s DSV was rejected.

The deal would clear the way for a squeeze out of Ceva’s remaining shareholders and a delisting from Switzerland’s stock exchange. This could be completed by the third quarter of 2019.
