ComfortDelGro to acquire GoBus operator for $17.52m

The acquisition will make the company the third largest inter-city coach operator in Ireland.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited will acquire Evobus and Coach Limited, the Irish operator of the GoBus coach service, for $17.52m (€12m).

As of 12 July, ComfortDelGro has already paid $6.424 m (€4.4m) of the $17.52m (€12m), whilst the €7.5 million ($10.95m) will be paid after the acquisition of GoBus’ fleet of 31 buses.

The fleet traverses three inter-city routers: the Galway-Dublin Express, the Cork-Dublin Express and the Galway-Ballina Express.

ComfortDelGro said it aims to fully acquire the fleet “at the end of a transitional services period of approximately one month.”

The balance of €100,000 (S$146,000), held in escrow, will be paid to Evobus upon expiry of a two-year period from 12 July, provided that there are no claims against Evobus during the said period.

Following the acquisition, ComfortDelGro will become the third largest inter-city coach operator in Ireland.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
