Agilyx ASA, a publicly listed leader in advanced plastic recycling, has officially announced an agreement to increase its shareholding in GreenDot Global S.à.r.l. to a controlling 50.1 percent. GreenDot serves as a prominent European platform for the sourcing, sorting, and supplying of plastic waste for recycling. Through a joint acquisition executed alongside strategic partner Lafor, this transaction enables the Norwegian-based company to fully consolidate GreenDot’s financial statements. According to official management projections, this consolidation will provide significant financial transparency, with GreenDot expected to generate approximately EUR 375 million in revenue during the 2026 fiscal year.
Transaction Details and the New Ownership Structure
Under the terms of the newly finalized agreement, the ownership structure of GreenDot will undergo a significant realignment. Agilyx and its partner Lafor will jointly acquire all shares in GreenDot that are currently held by Circular Resources, which altogether amounts to a 19.1 percent stake in the company.
As a direct result of this transaction, Agilyx’s total shareholding will increase from its previous 46 percent by an additional 4.1 percentage points, allowing the company to successfully reach the 50.1 percent threshold required for majority control. Simultaneously, Lafor’s shareholding will also experience a substantial increase, jumping from 34.9 percent to 49.9 percent. In conjunction with the establishment of this new ownership structure, corporate leadership will also see a transition: Agilyx Chief Executive Officer Ranjeet Bhatia will step in to serve as the Chairman of GreenDot.
Financial Consolidation and Revenue Projections
By securing the majority ownership stake, Agilyx will meet all the necessary accounting requirements to fully consolidate GreenDot’s financial statements into its own reporting framework. Upon the official closing of the transaction, the company will immediately begin consolidation accounting.
The financial outlook for the newly consolidated entity is robust. Official corporate projections state that GreenDot is expected to generate approximately EUR 375 million in revenue in 2026. Furthermore, the recycling platform is anticipated to produce over EUR 22 million in EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) during the same period.
Strategic Financing and Bondholder Support
To effectively finance the acquisition of the additional 4.1 percent shareholding, Agilyx has successfully arranged a dedicated EUR 4.7 million share purchase financing facility. This specific financial instrument carries an interest rate of 7 percent and features an expected duration of approximately six months. According to the company’s official statement, this facility provides full funding for the purchase, ensuring that the transaction will have no near-term cash impact on Agilyx’s balance sheet.
The execution of this strategic transaction has also received the requisite backing from the company’s creditors. The move secured the required support of two-thirds (2/3rds) of the voting bonds under Agilyx’s EUR 40,000,000 Subordinated Convertible Bonds (2025/2028). The dispatch of the written resolution and the formal completion of the transaction are expected to conclude on the day of the announcement, which is subject to standard disclosure requirements under Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
Executive Perspectives on the Partnership
Peter Norris, Chair of the Agilyx Board, emphasized the critical importance of the ongoing partnership in facilitating this transaction. In his official statement, Norris commented: “Lafor has been a valuable partner at GreenDot, and we’re excited to continue working together to build the EU’s leading waste plastic recycling platform. Consolidating GreenDot’s accounts will provide our shareholders better financial transparency and strengthen our partnership.”
