Experts back Wilderness deal ahead of vote

Wilderness Holdings is the target of a bid to take it private, led by its long-time director and CEO, Keith Vincent in partnership with US private equity asset managers.

Already, the Botswana-born pan-African group’s other major shareholders have endorsed the deal, as have board members holding equity. The upcoming key vote by shareholders on May 10 is expected to be a fait accompli, as Vincent and his partners already have irrevocable commitments of support from other major shareholders, giving them an easy path over the target required to approve the delisting.
