Very interesting.
As you say, it looks like a fairly diversified investment shell company.
Superficially, it does not appear to be overly focussed on energy, probably more so on construction & real-estate in the UAE.

CC Energy, however, is very energy centric.

Magna's (LSE) investment decisions would be made by their board of which Watts & Brown control a 20% block.

I guess Magna's interests and intensions towards OEX would be (significantly?) influenced by Watts/Brown.

But, it's hard to see Watts/Brown wanting to personally take full control of and personally manage OEX.
I think they'd more interested in selecting investment opportunities in areas where they have expertise.
