Of this, USD 250 mn will be made available after shareholder approval, with the remaining USD 200 mn released after the completion of the acquisition. In parallel, Wood also secured fresh support from its existing lenders: an extension of debt maturities to October 2028, a USD 60 mn interim facility, a USD 200 mn new money facility, and a USD 400 mn guarantee facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Wood\u2019s board backs the offer: <\/strong>Wood\u2019s directors unanimously intend to recommend the offer at the court meeting and general meeting, calling it the best option for shareholders, creditors, and other stakeholders. Directors representing 1.4 mn shares (0.2% of the total) have provided irrevocable undertakings to vote in favor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- <\/strong>Wood has not generated sustainable free-cashflow since 2017, posting USD 1.5 bn of outflows in 2017-2024, driven by regulatory fines, loss-making turnkey contracts, litigation, and restructuring charges. The group\u2019s gross debt stands at about USD 1.6 bn and liquidity is stretched. Wood\u2019s board said alternative refinancing options would likely deliver \u201cmaterially less, and potentially zero\u201d value to shareholders. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This has been a long time coming: <\/strong>The company was subject to another takeover bid in 2023 from private equity group Apollo that fell through, but had valued it at GBP 1.66 bn. Sidara\u2019s initial bid for Wood Group was also at a significantly higher GBP 2.3 per share, valuing the company at up to GBP 1.59 bn \u2014 but it later scrapped the bid and restarted talks this year, by which time the company\u2019s shares had taken an even bigger plunge. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sidara plans to make Wood its dedicated energy and materials division.<\/strong> The Wood brand will be retained, with Sidara citing its technical talent, global client base, and healthy order book. Sidara said the transaction will strengthen Wood\u2019s client relationships and create a platform to grow its renewables, hydrogen, decarbonization, and carbon capture capabilities. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The offer is still subject to exceptional conditions <\/strong>including publication of Wood\u2019s audited FY 2024 accounts by 31 October 2025; an audit opinion on the balance sheet; no acceleration of debt facilities above USD 20 mn; and formal effectiveness of the amendment and extension agreement by 31 December 2025. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong>A scheme document with full details and shareholder meeting dates will be published within 28 days. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ADVISORS- <\/strong>Sidara is advised by Goldman Sachs and Greenhill, with Allen and Overy Shearman Sterling, White and Case, and Dickson Minto as counsel.

Construction on the USD 1.2 bn (AED 4.4 bn) terminal project \u2014 located in Contrec\u0153ur, along the St. Lawrence River in northeast of Montr\u00e9al \u2014 could begin as soon as this month, with completion scheduled for 2029. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>About the project: <\/strong>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.port-montreal.com\/en\/ctc-home\/ctc-project\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">new terminal<\/a> will feature two berths, a container handling yard with about 1.2 mn TEUs capacity, an intermodal linkage yard, as well as industrial services facilities.

Energy was the main culprit, with Aramco\u2019s bottom line fell 19%, though banking (+18%) and telecoms (+18%) posted double-digit growth. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/abu-dhabi\/\">Abu Dhabi<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/adx\/\">ADX<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/capital-markets\/\">capital markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/dfm\/\">DFM<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/dubai\/\">Dubai<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/earnings-watch\/\">EARNINGS WATCH<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/kamco-invest\/\">Kamco Invest<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"107064 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"107064\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/09\/01\/107064-2\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-107064\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-107064 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HassanAllamProperties?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/8\/1727.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"107065\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"107065\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">MOVES<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/09\/01\/eshraq-taps-acting-ceo-and-al-futtaims-ev-arm-appoints-md\/\">\r\n                            Eshraq taps acting CEO and Al Futtaim\u2019s EV arm appoints MD                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/09\/01\/eshraq-taps-acting-ceo-and-al-futtaims-ev-arm-appoints-md\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The CSI 300 benchmark has climbed 14.3% YTD after a sharp rebound since June, though doubts persist over the rally\u2019s staying power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Local investors are driving the surge<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">, as they push into equities amid falling bond yields, lower deposit rates, and the collapse of property as a preferred asset class. Margin trading has jumped 19% in two months to RMB 2.2 tn (c. USD 308 bn) \u2014 the highest since 2015, though analysts say leverage is more contained than during the bubble that ended in a crash a decade ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Policy has laid the groundwork: <\/strong>State-backed funds staged coordinated share purchases earlier this year to stabilize valuations, and more market support followed after Beijing ordered insurers to boost equity exposure. Analysts say this liquidity backdrop is the key driver of the rally, even as deflation weighs on earnings, with producer prices falling 3.6% y-o-y in July.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But foreign investors remain on the sidelines<\/strong>, with Ping An Asset Management\u2019s Vincent Che saying there has been no significant impact from foreign flows. These investors have favored Japan and Europe where FX-adjusted gains have been stronger. \u201cI would much rather be focused on an earnings-driven market,\u201d Lombard Odier\u2019s Asia CIO John Woods said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Derivatives markets also signal caution: <\/strong>The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks mainland firms listed in Hong Kong, has rebounded 23% from its April low, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-08-31\/china-s-stock-rally-is-met-with-skepticism-in-options-market\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports. Yet implied volatility on ETFs tied to the gauge has dropped to a four-year low, showing little appetite to chase the rally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Options pricing underlines the divide: <\/strong>Upside calls remain expensive, while downside hedges on the FTSE China A50 are \u201crarely\u201d this cheap, according to Bank of America. Traders are also positioning for the expiry of the 90-day US-China trade truce, shifting to call spreads rather than taking an outright bullish approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed this morning<\/strong>, led by losses in Japan as the Nikkei fell 1.8%. On the flip side, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index is up 1.9%, while mainland China\u2019s CSI 300 is flat, following a Shanghai Cooperation Organization regional security bloc meeting that saw China
