ST. HELIER, Jersey and LONDON, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Petrus Legal Strategies (Jersey) Limited, Petrus Advisers Limited and funds advised by Petrus Advisers Limited (together, "Petrus"), which together hold between 3% and 5% of Iveco Group N.V. ("Iveco") common shares, today issued the following statement regarding Tata Motors's proposed all-cash voluntary tender offer for Iveco at €14.10 per share:
"One year ago today, Iveco shareholders were told that Tata Motors would acquire the Company at €14.10 per share, with completion in the first half of 2026. The timetable has since been reset repeatedly; this morning it moved again, to early November 2026.
Shareholders have borne the entire cost of that delay. The price has not increased by a single cent, which is unacceptable to shareholders. In the meantime, the value of Iveco's listed peers has increased significantly, and an investment in STOXX Europe 600 has yielded over 20% since July 2025.
€14.10 did not reflect fair value when the deal was agreed in July 2025, and more than a year of delay has widened this gap. Petrus recommends that fellow shareholders do not tender their shares into the transaction. We remain ready to engage constructively with Iveco and Tata Motors on terms that are fair to all shareholders."
