O3 Industries acquires Gumtree UK and Motors.co.uk, two leading online classifieds marketplaces
TelAve News/10713836
NEW YORK - TelAve -- O3 Industries ("O3"), together with Frankfurt-based private equity fund Novum Capital ("Novum"), has acquired Gumtree UK and Motors.co.uk in a carve-out from the global online classifieds specialist Adevinta ASA ("Adevinta").
Popular online marketplaces
Gumtree is one of the UK's leading digital classifieds platforms, connecting millions of buyers and sellers, to create thousands of successful transactions every day. Motors.co.uk is one of the UK's leading car search websites helping UK car dealers reach millions of buyers each month.
With the divestment of these two online platforms, Adevinta fulfils an agreement with the UK Competition and Markets Authority as part of its acquisition of the eBay Classifieds Group, which includes the German classifieds sites eBay Kleinanzeigen and mobile.de.
Flexibility and growth
O3 and Novum Capital have already shown huge determination and commitment to the businesses during the acquisition process and look to their future with ambition and optimism. The management and the new shareholders are looking forward to driving the company's growth as an independent business.
Rolv Erik Ryssdal, Adevinta CEO, said: "We are pleased to have completed the sale of Gumtree UK and Motors.co.uk to Novum Capital and O3. [...] We are confident that O3 and Novum Capital together are well placed to continue growing Gumtree UK and Motors.co.uk as they focus on providing leading classifieds advertising services to the UK market."
