The boards of Tata Motors and Turin-based Iveco are meeting on Wednesday to approve the transaction, said the people cited above on the condition of anonymity, as the talks are still in private domain. Iveco said on Tuesday it was in "ongoing, advanced" talks with different parties for two separate transactions regarding its defence business and the rest of the company. Exclusivity Agreement 'The board of directors of the company is in the process of carefully reviewing and evaluating all aspects of these potential transactions,' the company said in a statement, without giving further details. People aware of the proposed M&A deal structure told ET that Tata Motors would buy 27.1% from Exor, the investment company of the Agnelli family, and launch a tender offer (similar to India's open offer mechanism) to buy out the other smaller shareholder groups. Exor also controls 43.1% of the voting rights of the truck maker. Iveco is demerging its defence business, which will not be a part of the Tata Motors transaction. The Tata Group is confident of buying 100% of the listed Iveco without the defence business. The Italian company had said in May that it would press ahead with plans to either spin off its defence business by the end of 2025 or sell it, having already received offers from potential buyers. Shares of Iveco surged as much as 7.4% intraday on Tuesday on expectations of a transaction. The stock has more than doubled this year, valuing the company at $6.15 billion. Past partnerships Exor and the board of Iveco are believed to be in favour of the sale to Tata as the Agnellis have been an old ally of the group and its former chairman Ratan Tata, a motorhead himself. Tata also had an old joint venture with Agnelli family flagship Fiat Motors in India. The Agnellis are also prominent stakeholders in Ferrari and also control Stellantis, the Dutch automotive group that has subsumed the Fiat brand. Morgan Stanley is advising Tata Motors, while Goldman Sachs is working with Agnellis and Iveco. Clifford Chance is the legal advisor. 'Discussions have been ongoing for the last one and a half months and have intensified in recent weeks,' said one of the sources cited above. 'Both sides entered into an exclusivity agreement for bilateral negotiations. The exclusivity is due to lapse on August 1.' Tata Motors plans to route this transaction through a Dutch entity, which will be fully owned by Tata Motors. Reuters was the first to report about Tata-Iveco talks for a possible deal on July 18.

Palo Alto Networks in talks to buy CyberArk in deal worth over $20 billion: Report
Agencies Nikesh Arora, CEO, Palo Alto Networks Palo Alto Networks is in talks to acquire CyberArk Software in a deal that could value the Israeli cybersecurity firm at more than $20 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. Shares in CyberArk rose about 13%, while Palo Alto Networks' stock fell roughly 2%. The Santa Clara, California-based company could finalise a deal for CyberArk as soon as later this week, the report said. CyberArk declined to comment on the report when contacted by Reuters. Palo Alto did not immediately respond. Cybersecurity deal activity has been robust in recent years as large corporations have increased spending on security tools. Google-parent Alphabet said in March it would buy Israeli cybersecurity startup Wiz for about $32 billion. Rising competition among all-in-one cybersecurity platforms has reshaped the industry, making several companies attractive takeover targets for larger rivals and private equity firms. As of Monday's close, CyberArk had a market capitalization of $19.3 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
