In accordance with the European Commission’s decision to require Plastic Omnium to divest certain assets included in the recent acquisition of Faurecia Auto Exterior, the Group received a binding offer from US-Based Flex|N|Gate Group to acquire the 7 affected sites (4 in France, 1 in Spain and 2 in Germany), for an enterprise value of 200 million euros. On the basis of such offer, the Group has agreed to enter into exclusive discussions with Flex|N|Gate.
On July 11, 2016, Plastic Omnium was authorized to acquire Faurecia’s Exterior Systems business subject to the disposal of certain assets. These assets represent approximately €700 million in revenue, split evenly between (1) the French and Spanish sites for the bumper business, and (2) the front-end module assembly business in Germany.
