A consortium comprising CMC Group, the Cosmen family office (50.1%), and Asterion Industrial Partners (49.9%) has announced a takeover bid for 100% of the shares of Mobico Group, the parent company of the Spanish bus operator Alsa. The goal of the offer is to delist Mobico from the stock exchange.
The cash offer is set at 46 pence per share, equivalent to approximately 0.55 euros. This values the company at roughly 283 million pounds, or 338 million euros. The offer represents a 93.3% premium over the closing price on August 3, 2026, and a 55.1% premium over the closing price on October 20, 2026.
Mobico is a diversified transport group operating in coach, rail, urban bus, shuttle, and adapted transport services across Europe, the United States, North Africa, and the Middle East. The Cosmen family currently controls approximately 26% of Mobico shares. The transaction is expected to proceed via a court-approved scheme of arrangement under the UK Takeover Code.
