Societe Generale SA (GLE.FR) has agreed to sell its truck-and-trailer rental company PEMA GmbH to TIP Trailer Services, which is part of the portfolio of infrastructure investment manager I Squared Capital.

The deal will have a negative impact on the French bank's second-quarter results of 43 million euros ($47.9 million) and add 2 basis points to its core Tier 1 ratio.

SocGen expects the transaction, which is subject to antitrust approval, to be completed in coming months.

"This transaction illustrates the dynamic management of the Group's business portfolio and is another step in the execution of its refocusing program," Deputy Chief Executive Philippe Heim said.
