Exor ( OTCPK:EXXRF ), the investment company controlled by Italy’s Agnelli family and Iveco’s largest shareholder, has agreed to sell its 27% holding to Tata. Tata plans to make a public offer for the remaining shares, paving the way for Iveco to be delisted from the Milan exchange.

Tata Motors plans to raise about 1 billion euros ($1.14 billion) of equity to repay the loan funding its $4.5 billion offer to buy Iveco's trucks and bus business, the Indian automaker's chief financial officer said on Thursday.

Post-Iveco acquisition, the combined entity will become the world’s 4th largest truck maker by volume, a report stated.
