Samherji Holding, a company affiliated with Icelandic fishing and fish processing company Samherji, has expanded its holding in compatriot shipping company Eimskip by 3.05% up to 30.11%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samherji will within four weeks make an offer to other shareholders in accordance with governing law.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cEimskip is majority-owned by Icelandic pension funds that collectively hold more than 50% of the share capital. It is my understanding that the Board of Directors and the management of Eimskip have been aligned in the recent structural and operational changes,\u201d <\/em>Bj\u00f6rg\u00f3lfur J\u00f3hannsson, the interim CEO of Samherji, commented.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSamherji Holding believes Eimskip is well fit to continue to its listing on the Icelandic Stock Exchange. We hope that the majority of current shareholders, both large and small, share that belief with us and will continue to support the development of Eimskip in the years to come,\u201d<\/em> J\u00f3hannsson added.<\/p>\n
