Cash rose to $164.5M with total debt of $3,374.5M. The company agreed to acquire 10 dealerships and a collision center in Atlanta for about $1.3B, to be financed with $1.25B of new debt, and is implementing U.S. and U.K. cost‑reduction and restructuring programs amid tariff, emissions and geopolitical uncertainties.
Group 1 Automotive, Inc. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire substantially all assets of the Hennessy Automobile Companies’ 10 automobile dealerships and one collision center in the greater Atlanta market for an expected aggregate Purchase Price of approximately $1.3 billion plus inventory, subject to customary adjustments.

Sellers and principals agreed to three-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, and Group 1 will receive a transitional, royalty-free license to use certain “Hennessy” trademarks. Financing is supported by a JPMorgan commitment for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility of $1.25 billion, and the company expects to fund the Purchase Price through $1.25 billion of new debt backstopped by this bridge facility.
