Seaspan parent Atlas Corp faces a crucial vote next month as its major shareholders seek to delist the group in New York.

Investors will meet on 24 February to decide whether the $10.9m deal to buy out minority interests goes through.

The take-private bid has been launched by Poseidon Acquisition Corp, an entity formed by certain affiliates of Fairfax Financial Holdings, the Washington family and Atlas chairman David Sokol.
