LKQ Corporation has sold GSF Car Parts to Epiris Fund III, a private equity fund based in the United Kingdom.

The divestiture fulfills LKQ’s undertaking to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority to sell the GSF business in connection with LKQ’s acquisition of Uni-Select Inc.

Rick Galloway, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “The proceeds from the sale of GSF will be utilized to reduce our total debt, putting us in a better position to begin implementing a more balanced capital allocation strategy, which includes share repurchases.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
