Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a
global technology provider for enterprise and government mobility
solutions with a global footprint, announces the successful sale of
one of its subsidiaries, Urbvan Mobility Ltd. (“Urbvan”), to Kolors
Inc. (“Kolors”), a leading transport provider in Latin America, for
aggregate gross proceeds of $12 million. Swvl acquired Urbvan in
July 2022 in an all-share acquisition, and the sale of Urbvan to
Kolors is comprised entirely of cash. Swvl will receive $12 million
for the sale of Urbvan, of which $9.5 million in cash was paid at
closing, and $2.5 million to be paid over 1 year. Urbvan
constituted 4% of Swvl’s IFRS revenues as of September 30, 2022,
and approximately 7% of Swvl’s IFRS revenues as of December 31,
2022. Its sale reflects Swvl’s strategy to focus on higher priority
markets.
Mostafa Kandil, CEO of Swvl, said, “The sale of
Urbvan to Kolors is a step in our strategic vision for profitable
growth. This move enables Swvl to accelerate its plans for enhanced
strategic expansions in higher priority markets.”
Meanwhile, through this transaction Kolors gains complete
ownership of Urbvan, a leading technology transport company based
in Mexico. This acquisition strategically positions Kolors to tap
into Urbvan’s competencies and experience, offering advanced
transport solutions to corporate clients and urban commuters.
