Thread: Aston Martin ulog kupio bivši vlasnik Ducati

Ducattijev bivši vlasnik postao je glavni dioničar Aston Martina. Sporazumom će 500 milijuna ljudi biti uloženo u novi proizvod Bivši vlasnik motociklističke tvrtke Ducati kupio je udio u Aston Martin Lagondi.
Talijanski private equity fond Investindustrial potpisao je sporazum o ulaganju 150 milijuna za 37. 5 posto udjela u britanskoj kompaniji za sportske automobila. Sporazumom se učvršćuje postojeći program razvoja proizvoda Aston Martina u iznosu od 100 milijuna godišnje u sljedećih pet godina.
Mahindra i Mahindra ranije se smatralo da su favoriti u sporazumu, nudeći znatno veću novčanu injekciju. Iako Investindustrial ima odnose s AMG-om, veza s Mercedesovom izvedbenom rukom nije dio dogovora. Investindustrial ima značajne kontakte unutar industrije, izjavio je glasnogovornik, koji se osvrnuo na partnerstva Aston Martina s drugim OEM-ovima, uključujući Ford i Toyotu.
Investindustrial je bio vlasnik Ducatija sve do ranije ove godine kada je prodao tvrtku Audiju za 1 dolar. 1 milijardu.
Prema novom sporazumu, Investindustrial će postati dioničar zajedno sa sadašnjim većinskim dioničarom Investment Darom i manjinskim dioničarima, dr. Ulrichom Bezom i Davidom Richardsom. Investindustrial će biti manjinski dioničar, s četiri od devet mjesta u odborima.
Predsjednik Aston Martina David Richards izjavio je: Oduševljen sam što je Investindustrial odlučio postati veliki ulagač u Aston Martin. Uz podršku Investment Dara, u proteklih pet godina ostvarili smo znatan napredak u postavljanju temelja za uspjeh kao jedan od vodećih svjetskih proizvođača luksuznih sportskih automobila.
Investindustrials nova ulaganja odražavaju i održavaju jedinstvenu poziciju Aston Martina unutar industrije. S ovim partnerstvom i kontinuiranom predanošću Investment Daru, radujemo se suradnji s našim dioničarima dok realiziramo našu viziju i uzbudljive buduće planove.
Andrea C. Bonomi viša ravnateljica u Investindustrialu izjavila je: Radujemo se suradnji s upravom i Investicijskim Darom kako bismo postigli sličnu transformaciju i pomlađivanje koje smo postigli s Ducatijem, širenjem raspona modela i jačanjem mreže zastupništva, u cijelom svijetu.

Ducati's former owner has become a major shareholder in Aston Martin. The deal will see 500m invested in new productThe former owner of motorcycle company Ducati has bought a stake in Aston Martin Lagonda.
Italian private equity fund Investindustrial has signed a deal to invest 150m for a 37. 5 per cent stake in the British sports car company. The deal cements Aston Martin's existing 100m a year product development programme for the next five years.
Mahindra and Mahindra was previously thought to be the front runner in the deal, offering a significantly greater cash injection. Although Investindustrial has relationships with AMG, a tie-in with Mercedes performance arm is not part of the deal. Investindustrial has significant contacts within the industry, according to a spokesman, who referred to Aston Martin's partnerships with other OEMs, including Ford and Toyota.
Investindustrial owned Ducati until earlier this year when it sold the company to Audi for $1. 1bn.
Under the new deal, Investindustrial will become a shareholder alongside current majority shareholder Investment Dar and minority shareholders, Dr Ulrich Bez and David Richards. Investindustrial will be a minority shareholder, with four of the nine board seats.
Aston Martin chairman David Richards said: I am delighted that Investindustrial has decided to become a major investor in Aston Martin. With the support of Investment Dar, we have made substantial progress over the past five years in laying the foundations for success as one of the worlds leading luxury sports car manufacturers.
Investindustrials new investment reflects and sustains the unique position of Aston Martin within the industry. With this partnership and the continued commitment of Investment Dar, we look forward to working with our shareholders as we realise our vision and exciting future plans.
Andrea C. Bonomi senior principal at Investindustrial said: We are looking forward to working with the management and Investment Dar to achieve a similar transformation and rejuvenation that we achieved with Ducati, by expanding the model range and strengthening the dealership network, throughout the world.
