Kubota upped its interest in Indian tractor manufacturer Escorts to 44.8% from 9.09% upon completion of a preferential offering by Escorts and an open offer to the latter's shareholders.
According to a report from Mint, Kubota will receive an over 50% stake in Escorts by the end of March and "lay down a mid-term business and investment road map for Escorts Kubota, the new entity."
Kubota Corporation has announced that Kubota and the Indian tractor manufacturer Escorts Limited have reached an agreement under which Kubota will increase its shareholding in Escorts by means of subscription to third-party preferential primary share allotment and open offer bid.
