Reliable Auto asset sale to be carried out in 2017

Venta de activos de Reliable Auto se realizaría en 2017

Intel ID : 245371
Synopsis

Popular Auto, a Puerto Rico-based company engaged in granting loans for vehicle acquisition, may be negotiating the acquisition of Reliable Auto's assets for the summer of 2017, reported El Vocero on 16 February 2017, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, several delays may have occurred in the transaction, which may be open since September 2016 (see related intel), given the resignation of an executive at Wells Fargo, the parent company of Reliable Auto, who had been in charge of the transaction to date.

Another issue that may have delayed the asset sale would be an investigation to avoid a possible monopoly of Popular Auto, as well as the participation of a buyer of Reliable Auto's toxic loans.

Popular Auto, empresa de Puerto Rico dedicada a conceder préstamos para adquirir vehículos, podría estar negociando la compra de los activos de la empresa Reliable Auto para el verano de 2017, según ha informado El Vocero el 16 de febrero de 2017, citando fuentes cercanas al asunto.

Según la información, habrían surgido varios retrasos en la transacción, la cual se estaría realizando desde septiembre de 2016 (ver Intel relacionado), debido a la renuncia de un ejecutivo de Wells Fargo, compañía matriz de Reliable Auto, quien habría estado a cargo de la operación hasta la fecha.

Otro asunto que habría retrasado la venta de activos sería una investigación para evitar un posible monopolio por parte de Popular Auto, así como la participación de un comprador de los préstamos tóxicos de Reliable Auto.
