Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group to sell Terberg Business Lease Group to Arval

Utrecht - Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group have reached an agreement with international leasing company Arval regarding the acquisition of Terberg Business Lease Group (TBLG). TBLG is a joint venture of Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group. This acquisition is conditional pending approval from the European competition authorities and the conclusion of consultation with the works councils of TBLG and Arval. The transaction is expected to be completed before the end of this year. No information on the acquisition price will be released.

With this acquisition, Arval will strengthen its market position in the Dutch and Belgian auto leasing markets. TBLG operates under the Terberg Business Mobility, Privatelease.com, Justlease and Personal Car Lease brands and manages a fleet of around 40,000 lease vehicles. Arval's lease fleet in the Netherlands consists of over 60,000 cars.

Godfried Terberg, Executive Board chair for Royal Terberg Group: "The sale of Terberg Business Lease Group is in keeping with our strategy of devoting our full attention to the divisions that design, manufacture and maintain specialised vehicles. Arval is a highly-renowned business and a major player in the international auto leasing market that offers TBLG great prospects for further growth under its roof."

Paul Zekhuis, CEO of AutoBinck Group: "In the Netherlands, our focus has for some time been on providing mobility services to the business community. This sale is therefore in keeping with our strategy as well, as we in the Netherlands are increasingly shifting away from automotive to focus more specifically on mobility in the broader sense. Our car-leasing activities via Business lease Group in Central Europe are entirely separate from the sale of TBLG. While our strategy there actually does focus on the automotive aspect, we are gradually adding more mobility services to that portfolio."

* Update: The sale of TBLG was officially completed on December 1, 2022. After consultation with the works councils of both organizations, the statement was received on 16 November 2022 from the European Commission that the acquisition is in line with European Union competition law. Royal Terberg Group wishes the newly formed Arval-TBLG combination every success.
