01:27 AM EDT, 08/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Irish Continental Group's (ICGC.L, IR5B.IR) independent board postponed the scheme meetings and extraordinary general meeting to consider Bluefin Bidco's offer to Sept. 10, saying proxy votes received as of Wednesday indicated the scheme was likely to fail. The meetings, originally scheduled for Friday, were adjourned to give shareholders more time to consider the offer and cast their votes, according to a Thursday filing. The Irish maritime transport group's board continues to consider the offer "fair and reasonable" and believes it will deliver "compelling value" for the shareholders.
