The final takeover value would be adjusted according to the company’s financial data until the date when the transaction would be completed. The buyer would pay the purchase price entirely from its own sources.
Autonom will acquire 100% of the share package held by Molesey Holdings in the share capital of Premium Leasing SRL, operating under the brand name Tiriac Operating Lease. The completion of the transaction is conditional on obtaining the agreement of the competition council.
Through this step, Autonom will increase productivity and turnover, strengthen its position on the Romanian operational leasing market and significantly exceed the threshold of 10,000 cars.
Premium Leasing will continue to operate as a separate entity until the completion of the procurement procedures, and only after this date will the integration process within the Autonom Group take place, SeeNews.com said.
