Steyr Motors Board Recommends Acceptance Of Red Cat Purchase Offer

What happened

Steyr Motors’ management and supervisory boards recommended that shareholders accept Red Cat’s purchase offer. The offer is €39 per share, valuing the deal at about €205 million, and remains open until December 18, 2026. PwC confirmed the offer price as fair; it represents about a 29% premium to the pre-announcement share price.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The recommendation gives shareholders a clear signal in favor of selling, while the €39 price and stated premium define the proposed value of their shares. If shareholders accept and the purchase proceeds, ownership of Steyr Motors would transfer to Red Cat, changing who controls the company.

Analyst inference

The offer is not described as completed: shareholders have until December 18, 2026, to accept, and the boards have recommended acceptance. The stated 29% premium compares the offer price with Steyr Motors’ share price before the announcement, not necessarily its current trading price.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Watch for announcements on shareholder acceptance and whether the offer is completed by December 18, 2026; the article does not report an acceptance level or closing. Confirmed
2. The boards recommend acceptance, but shareholders must decide whether to tender their shares, meaning formally offer them for sale under Red Cat’s terms. Confirmed
3. If acceptance is insufficient or the purchase does not proceed, Steyr Motors would remain outside Red Cat’s ownership, leaving the proposed change in control unrealized. Analyst inference
