Conyers Dill & Pearman has advised DSV A/S (“DSV”) on its agreement to acquire UTi Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: UTIW) (“UTi”). The take private transaction, which is to be implemented by way of a British Virgin Islands statutory merger and is subject to approval by UTi shareholders and regulatory approvals, is valued at approximately US$1.35 billion.
