“This additional investment and revised terms move both companies closer to the potential exercise of Motorcar Parts’option to acquire Fenwick,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.
“We remain excited about the Fenwick opportunity. Although there can be no assurances, we anticipate that the acquisition will be completed in early Fiscal 2012,” Joffe added.
