OCI N.V., a 10% shareholder, has filed a Form 144 indicating its intent to sell 2 million common shares of Methanex, valued at approximately $123 million. This proposed sale represents over 20% of the shares they initially acquired as part of the transaction consideration for the sale of OCI's global methanol business to Methanex. This follows a previous sale of over $172 million in shares by OCI Chemicals B.V. (an indirect subsidiary of OCI N.V.) within the last three months, bringing their total dispositions to over 50% of their initial stake. While the company itself does not receive proceeds from these sales, such a significant reduction in ownership by a major shareholder can create an overhang on the stock, signaling a strategic reduction in their position.
