# Iveco shareholders approve Tata Motors acquisition, threshold cut to 80% 2026-10-16T14:47:24+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Iveco Group shareholders on 16 October approved all resolutions related to Tata Motors’ proposed acquisition, clearing a key hurdle and reducing the minimum share acceptance threshold from 95% to 80%. The extraordinary general meeting was held in Amsterdam, Iveco said. Tata Motors, through its subsidiary TML CV Holdings, raised its offer price to €14.40 per share on 9 October, valuing the transaction at approximately €3.91 billion (Business Standard) or €3.82 billion (The Economic Times). The lower threshold eases the proportion of shares Tata Motors must secure to proceed. Shareholders also approved amendments to Iveco’s articles of association, its conversion into a private limited company after delisting, and new board members. The post-offer demerger may be implemented if Tata Motors secures at least 80% of common shares. The tender offer acceptance period runs from 7 September to 26 October 2026. Completion depends on remaining conditions being satisfied. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Business Standard and The Economic Times both report the same facts: Iveco shareholders approved Tata Motors' takeover resolutions and cut the minimum acceptance threshold from 95% to 80%. The Economic Times provides more detail on the tender timeline, it runs from 7 September to 26 October 2026, and notes that the post-offer demerger depends on owning at least 80% of common shares.
