On 30 October 2026, Tata Motors completed the initial settlement of its tender offer for the shares of Iveco Group, marking a significant milestone in the automotive industry. The offer, launched on 4 September 2026, aimed to acquire all issued common shares of Iveco Group at a price of EUR 14.4 (cum dividend) per share. With the settlement, Tata Motors now holds 238,157,212 common shares, representing approximately 89.42% of Iveco Group's common share capital, net of treasury shares.
This acquisition brings Iveco Group under the Tata Motors umbrella, aligning the two companies in their pursuit of global leadership in commercial vehicles and mobility solutions. As part of the transaction, the board of Iveco Group underwent a significant restructuring. The new board composition includes N. Chandrasekaran as the Chairperson and Senior Non-Executive Director, Olof Persson as the Chief Executive Officer, and P. B. Balaji and Girish Wagh as Non-Independent Directors. Guenter Butschek and Charles Nichols serve as Independent Directors.
The board committees also underwent changes, with the Audit Committee chaired by Charles Nichols, the Compensation Committee chaired by Guenter Butschek, and the ESG Committee chaired by Girish Wagh. These changes reflect the commitment to enhanced governance and sustainable practices within the combined entity.
Furthermore, all Special Voting Shares of Iveco Group, which were outstanding prior to the settlement of the tender offer, have been repurchased for no consideration, ensuring a streamlined ownership structure. This move aligns with the amended corporate governance documents of Iveco Group, which are now in place.
To provide transparency, the financial results for the third quarter of 2026 will be released on 3 November 2026, a day earlier than previously scheduled. This early disclosure is part of the ongoing efforts to maintain clear communication with stakeholders.
The integration of Iveco Group into Tata Motors is expected to leverage the strengths of both companies, driving innovation and sustainability in the global commercial vehicle market. With a combined workforce of 33,000 employees and a network of 16 industrial sites and 22 R&D centers, the merged entity is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
The transaction, which was launched in Italy and extended to the United States in compliance with U.S. Securities Exchange Act provisions, underscores the global ambitions of Tata Motors. The company's commitment to expanding its footprint and driving technological advancements in the automotive sector remains unwavering.
