A page turner for EuroHoldings Ltd, the Nasdaq-listed shipping company, brings the entry of the Latsis family into the majority shareholding through Marla Investments Inc. The deal, which was completed with the purchase of 51.04% of the common shares from shareholders linked to the Pitta family, marks one of the most significant investment moves by Greek business interests in the shipping industry in recent times.

The transaction price was set at $12.90 per share, with a total volume covering 1,437,697 shares. This was an all-cash deal conducted without the issuance of any new shares, thereby classifying it as a “clean transaction” – a rarity in the shipping industry when it comes to listed companies.

Ms Marianna Latsis and Health Minister Makis Vorides visited the building, where the Day Clinic “Nikos Kourkoulos” will be housed. In accordance with the donation agreement signed on January 30, 2013 between Mrs. Latsis and the Health Ministry, the Greek State expects to take delivery of Greece’s first specialized public Day Clinic for cancer patients, which will be located on its own premises, in December 2014.
