- ZEEL has refuted these claims and plans to take legal action and contest Culver Max and BEPL’s claims in arbitration proceedings.
- The merger’s cancellation comes after disputes about leadership and a delay in the merger, with ZEEL seeking a deadline extension that was not agreed upon by the January 21 deadline.
