Cordel Group (AIM:CRDL) confirmed its recommended cash takeover by Germany's Vossloh remains on schedule, adjusting only the timing of one procedural step.
The AIM-listed rail technology firm said trading in its shares will be cancelled at 7.00 a.m. on 14 August, half an hour earlier than the 7.30 a.m. slot announced on 10 July.
All other dates in the scheme of arrangement timetable are unchanged.
Vossloh, via its subsidiary Vossloh Digital Solutions, agreed the acquisition on 13 May, with shareholders approving the scheme on 30 June and the National Security and Investment Act condition satisfied on 10 July.
The Court hearing to sanction the scheme is set for 11 August, with the effective date falling on 13 August.
Cordel shares will be suspended from listing by 7.30 a.m. on 13 August ahead of the following day's AIM cancellation.
The long stop date for completing the scheme is 13 February 2027, unless Vossloh and Cordel agree a later date with regulatory consent.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Cordel Group confirmed its recommended takeover by Vossloh remains on track for a 13 August effective date, with only a minor procedural adjustment: AIM trading cancellation moved 30 minutes earlier to 7.00 a.m. on 14 August. The deal has cleared all major hurdles—shareholder approval (30 June), National Security and Investment Act clearance (10 July)—and the court sanction hearing is set for 11 August, leaving no material risk to completion.
For Cordel shareholders, this is a formality: the deal structure and terms are locked, regulatory risk is resolved, and the timetable is now a countdown to cash receipt. The adjustment signals administrative tidiness rather than any commercial or legal complication.
