what happened
Most Iveco Group shareholders tendered their shares into Tata Motors' proposed takeover, which values the Italian truckmaker at about $4.36 billion, according to a filing published by Iveco on Tata's behalf.
Tata Motors has provisionally secured more than 89% of Iveco's common share capital, net of treasury shares. The filing says these acceptances satisfy the threshold condition for the takeover.
Earlier this month Tata raised its offer to 14.4 euros per share from 14.10 euros. The revised price implies an equity value of 3.905 billion euros ($4.36 billion). Iveco's board had initially backed the original offer and recommended acceptance, and later welcomed the higher price.
why it matters
The deal would transfer Iveco's commercial vehicles business to India's Tata Motors, but Iveco must first spin off its defense unit, which Leonardo agreed to buy earlier this year. Clearing the threshold is a significant step toward completing this large automotive transaction.

Iveco Group: meeting the threshold lowers the risk of the takeover falling apart; Tata Motors: progress on a major deal
