Castle Private Equity Ltd. will contact major shareholders on their willingness to tender shares to the transaction in the next weeks. If approved by extraordinary general meeting, the share buyback is anticipated to occur subject to conditions in November 2017. Details regarding the transaction will be published following the extraordinary general meeting.
