McLaren Group Limited has announced the purchase of all shares of McLaren Racing’s minority shareholders – MSP Sports Capital, funds managed by O’Connor Capital Solutions, Ares Sports, Media and Entertainment funds, and Caspian Funds. The transaction will enable Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company and CYVN Holdings LLC, an advanced mobility operator and investment vehicle based in Abu Dhabi, to increase their share and assume full ownership of the iconic British motor racing business. 

Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company will continue as majority shareholder with CYVN Holdings owning a non-controlling stake. 

McLaren Racing is home to the McLaren Formula 1, IndyCar as well as the World Endurance Championship team from 2027 onwards.

Paul Walsh, Executive Chairman, McLaren Group, said:

“Our suite of minority investors came on board in 2020 and we thank them for their tremendous support over the past few years as we set McLaren Racing on a path to commercial growth and financial stability. We now have two fantastic shareholders in Mumtalakat, a long-standing and deeply valued partner, and CYVN, whose additional investment in Automotive and McLaren Racing, together with their strategic focus on advanced mobility, strengthens our ability to future-proof the business and capture new growth opportunities.”

The simplified ownership structure and strengthened capital base resulting from the transaction will position McLaren Racing for continued success both on and off the track. The board and executive management team remain committed to delivering on the vision to be the most pioneering and exhilarating racing team in the world.
