What did FleetPartners report?
- The Board received indicative, non-binding, and conditional proposals from SG Fleet, Element, and ORIX to acquire 100% of shares in FleetPartners.
- FleetPartners will grant initial limited commercial and financial due diligence access to these bidders, pending confidentiality agreements.
- The Board may also allow due diligence access to other credible bidders should additional proposals arise.
- No binding offers have been submitted at this stage.
- Shareholders are not required to take any action currently.
What else do investors need to know?
The Board's decision follows its evaluation of each proposal, with input from professional advisers and feedback from shareholders. The limited due diligence access aims to allow interested parties to refine their proposals on a more informed basis.
FleetPartners has emphasised that it will continue to engage with SG Fleet, Element, ORIX, and any other parties that may submit worthwhile proposals. However, there is no certainty that a binding offer will eventuate or that any transaction will ultimately take place.
What's next for FleetPartners?
The company's Board will keep assessing potential proposals or alternatives, always with shareholders' best interests in mind. FleetPartners will update the market in line with its continuous disclosure obligations as developments unfold.
For now, shareholders are advised not to take any action until a binding offer is announced or further details are provided.
