Both co-investors who hold 50% of the LeasePlan shares decided at the end of 2008 to dispose of their shareholdings.
These co-investors are the privately owned Olayan Group of Saudi Arabia and Mubadala Development Company owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Metzler is expected to purchase this package in fall 2009 once the transaction has been approved by the anti-trust authorities.
LeasePlan is active on the global growth market of multibrand fleet management and will continue to position itself as a brand-independent service provider. LeasePlan holds a leading position on established markets and is strongly placed on growth markets.
Multibrand fleet management remains of high strategic importance for the Group. The 50% stake in the joint venture is held by Volkswagen Bank GmbH, Brunswick.
LeasePlan was acquired by a consortium led by Volkswagen in 2004.
