German auto giant Daimler AG (DDAIF.PK) said Wednesday that it has decided to evaluate a spin-off of its Truck and Bus business and begin preparations for a separate listing of Daimler Truck.
The company said a significant majority stake in the Daimler Truck business would be distributed to Daimler AG's shareholders, due to the spin-off.
The company stated that Daimler Truck business will have fully independent management and a stand-alone corporate governance. Daimler would seek for Supervisory Board representation at Daimler Truck.
A spin-off would require the approval of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of Daimler. The meeting could be held at the end of third-quarter 2021.
The company plans to complete the potential spin-off and the listing of Daimler Truck at the Frankfurt stock exchange before year-end 2021.
