Volkswagen, which has owned Europcar in the past, is exploring a tie-up that could be announced as soon as Wednesday if talks about an agreement in principal are successful, although no deal has been reached yet, the sources said.
One of the sources said Volkswagen was making a renewed approach at 0.50 euros per share, following its last offer at 0.44 euros, and that the companies’ respective boards were due to meet on Wednesday. The pricing details could yet change, the source added.
Volkswagen declined to comment, as did Anchorage, the lead fund which took control of Europcar last year along with other investment firms.
