The Company sells around 1,600 used vehicles B2C each year with annual revenues of around €30 million. The transaction is not subject to any conditions precedent, including antitrust aspects and the Company will be integrated within Aramis Group with immediate effect.

For Cazoo, this transaction provides the opportunity, in line with its previously announced plans to withdraw from mainland Europe, to quickly exit from the Italian market, contributing to its plan to reach profitability without the need for further external funding.

For Aramis, it is a great opportunity to enter, at attractive financial conditions, a strategic market in continental Europe, representing 20 billion euros of annual transactions, and where Stellantis, Aramis Group’s majority shareholder, has a very strong presence.
