McLaren To Accelerate Growth With Mumtalakat and CYVN Holdings Partnership
Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company BSC(c) (“Mumtalakat”), the sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and CYVN Holdings LLC (“CYVN Holdings”), an investment vehicle based in Abu Dhabi announced today that they have entered into a non-binding agreement, a potential partnership to accelerate the next chapter of McLaren’s growth.
The potential partnership would see CYVN Holdings which invests in smart and advanced mobility solutions, acquire full ownership of McLaren’s automotive business in addition to a non-controlling stake in McLaren Group.
This transformative investment by CYVN Holdings would bring access to additional capital, advanced engineering expertise and pioneering technology, particularly in the field of electric vehicles.
It would also allow McLaren to benefit from the broad cross-industry experience of CYVN Holdings’ team, building on CYVN Holdings’ previous strategic investments in NIO Inc., Forseven and Gordon Murray Technologies.
This partnership would look to build on McLaren’s highly successful track record in elite motorsport and grow one of the world’s most prestigious range of high-performance vehicles, with an expanding network of over 110 retailers in 30 global regions.
The deal would also align with Mumtalakat’s strategy to optimise, enhance and grow its portfolio, to deliver sustainable long-term financial returns.
