Pteris Global shareholders approve RTO deal

Shareholders of loss-making Pteris Global has voted in favour of a reverse takeover (RTO) deal that will see China International Marine Containers (CIMC) gain a controlling interest in Pteris.

The RTO deal involves Pteris acquiring a 70% stake in Tianda, the world's largest supplier of passenger boarding bridges, for $137.6 million from CIMC.

CIMC is seeking to expand its airport logistics systems (ALS) business and Singapore-listed Pteris Global will be an important part of the plan, said CIMC board secretary Yu Yuqun.

Post-RTO deal, the remaining Pteris shareholders will see their stake fall to less than 30%.
