Mahindra-SML Deal
After SUVs, Mahindra now aims to make it large in the truck and bus space.
The Mumbai-based automaker recently signed a deal to acquire SML Isuzu Ltd. in a deal valued at Rs 555 crore to bolster its presence in the large commercial-vehicle segment.
The Scorpio maker by revenue will pick up a 43.96% stake—or 63,62,306 shares—held by promoter Sumitomo Corp. and 15% stake—or 21,70,747 shares—from Isuzu Motors Ltd. at Rs 650 per share, according to an exchange filing on Saturday. That pegs the valuation of the 58.96% stake purchases at Rs 554.63 crore.
Separately, M&M will trigger an open offer to acquire 26% stake, equivalent to 37,62,628 shares, at Rs 1,554.60 apiece. This is in accordance with India's market regulations.
Following the transaction, SML will become a listed subsidiary of M&M. The brand name ‘Isuzu' will be dropped from the name. The Mahindra Group, overall, has a market capitalisation of more than $50 billion.
