Chaim Katzman girds for battle over Norstar
Last week Norstar controlling shareholder Chaim Katzman signed a cooperation agreement with building contractor Yitzhak Sela, who holds a 5% stake in Norstar, which gives Katzman power of attorney to vote on behalf of his shares. Katzman is deputy chairman of Norstar and CEO of Gazit-Globe. Katzman himself has a 28.1% controlling stake in Norstar after selling some of his holdings to real estate company Israel Canada (TASE: ISCN), controlled by Assaf Tuchmeir and Barak Rosen.
Sources close to the matter say that Israel Canada is now in talks to sell its 22% stake to Amos Luzon, which could threaten Katzman’s control of the company.
