Pininfarina’s legendary brand status will allow Tech Mahindra powerful access to relationships the iconic designer has nurtured with the best in the world over its 85-year history, including with Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Peugeot. This will mean an opportunity for Tech Mahindra to influence product conceptualization and design & styling through Europe’s best-in-class design house.

As part of the agreement, Tech Mahindra and M&M shall purchase 76.06% of Pininfarina shares from the current controlling shareholder Pincar S.r.l. at a price of euro 1.1 per share. This investment by Tech Mahindra and M&M shall be done via a joint venture company, whose ownership shall be held 60% by Tech Mahindra and 40% by M&M.

This will be followed by an open offer for all the remaining ordinary shares of Pininfarina, at the same purchase price paid for the shares held by Pincar.  A rights issue to infuse funds into the design & styling major will also be executed before the end of 2016.
