Zenith, the UK’s largest independent truck-to-car vehicle leasing and fleet management company, is pleased to announce that it has completed its recapitalisation transaction, previously announced on 22nd April 2026.
The recapitalisation will strengthen the Group’s balance sheet and extend its debt maturities to support the continued delivery of its long-term strategy.
The completion follows the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions, with holders of c.99% of the Senior Secured Notes having voted in favour of the transaction alongside unanimous support from the RCF and securitisation lenders.
The business continues to deliver growth in underlying performance, with strong margins on new lease contracts and a recovery in residual value profits as newer, more profitable cohorts replace legacy contracts. This performance is underpinned by resilient customer demand, with high retention rates and a healthy pipeline of new business wins.
