Zim Integrated Shipping shares rose as much as 5.5% in premarket trading on Tuesday after Hapag-Lloyd and FIMI said they planned to revise their proposed acquisition following discussions with Israeli officials. Hapag-Lloyd said on Monday that it was working with the Israeli government on changes to its proposed $4.2 billion cash acquisition of Zim Integrated Shipping Services. The proposed acquisition has faced opposition from several parties in Israel, including Zim employees, Defence Minister Israel Katz and other government officials, who argue that transferring the Israeli shipping company's operations to a foreign owner would raise national security concerns. The planned changes follow discussions with Israeli officials as the parties seek to address issues surrounding the proposed transaction, but no revised financial terms or other modifications were disclosed.
