OCI (ISIN NL0010558797) was trading at EUR 4.16 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 12:37 p.m. CEST. An Amsterdam court ruling cleared one legal hurdle for the proposed merger, while NNS's EUR 4.10 cash offer and the October 30 shareholder vote remain central to the investment case.

As EnterpriseAM reported on October 14, 2026, the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal rejected a petition seeking an inquiry into OCI. A separate petition remains part of the legal background, so the ruling removes one obstacle rather than completing the transaction.

Three dates define the transformation

On June 1, 2026, OCI agreed to sell an initial 50 percent interest in OCI Nitrogen to AGROFERT, with completion expected in the second half of 2027, according to OCI. On September 14, 2026, NNS published its offer memorandum for EUR 4.10 per OCI share. On October 14, 2026, the court ruling cleared one legal hurdle for the combination.

What does the EUR 4.10 offer mean?

The cash offer gives shareholders a defined exit value while the proposed combination with Orascom Construction would reshape OCI's structure. OCI's first-half 2026 net profit attributable to shareholders fell to USD 1 million from USD 343 million in the first half of 2025, a comparison affected by a USD 238 million disposal gain and an impairment charge, according to OCI. OCI Nitrogen revenue declined to USD 534 million from USD 566 million, while operating profit improved to USD 53 million from a USD 21 million loss.

October 30 vote sets the next step

OCI's extraordinary general meeting will take place on October 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CEST in Amsterdam, according to OCI. The regular acceptance deadline for the NNS offer is November 17, 2026, unless extended. The EGM agenda covers the offer, the Orascom Construction combination and the planned sale of OCI Nitrogen.

Price stays near the offer value

OCI stock was trading at EUR 4.16 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 12:37 p.m. CEST. That price stands above NNS's EUR 4.10 cash offer, leaving the vote, offer conditions and transaction timetable as the key dated markers for the stock.
