The offer represents a 55.8% premium to Steyr’s 52‑week low and a 28.9% premium to the October 16 closing price. The transaction is backed by Steyr’s anchor shareholder B&C Group, which will tender roughly 15% of the share capital, and requires regulatory approvals and a minimum 50%+1 share acceptance threshold.
