This potential offer could be one of the largest buyouts of the year. Adevinta confirmed receiving a non-binding proposal for the acquisition of all its shares.
In a statement, Adevinta disclosed that its major shareholders, eBay Inc. and Norwegian media group Schibsted ASA, have expressed their support for the proposal and will maintain a portion of their current stakes.
