Multiple outlets report the transaction is valued at around €330 million (about $378 million) and is structured as a mix of cash and stock. The deal remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory reviews. Both sources describe the acquisition as expected to close in fiscal 2027, depending on approvals and completion of the required steps.

The companies do not indicate in the provided excerpts any changes to existing operations, management, or specific terms beyond the overall consideration and the timing contingent on approvals.
