The measures in the transformation concept will improve the operating result and reduce debt. Issue of new BayWa shares planned As a further measure to improve its financial strength, BayWa is planning a cash capital increase with subscription rights for the coming year. The volume of the proceeds is expected to amount to €150 million. BayWa's two major shareholders, Bayerische Raiffeisen-Beteiligungs-AG (BRB) and Raiffeisen Agrar Invest AG (RAI), have undertaken to secure this volume. The details of the capital increase, in which all BayWa shareholders can participate, will be determined by the company in the course of the first quarter of 2025.Existing standstill agreement extended Almost all of the roughly 300 financial creditors support BayWa AG's reorganisation efforts. Before the turn of the year, the company reached an agreement with its main financing partners and the two major shareholders BRB and RAI on the content of a long-term reorganisation agreement until 2027. This should be legally finalised by the end of April 2025 at the latest. The existing standstill agreement with the financial creditors was extended until 30 April 2025. BayWa assumes that new financing agreements will also come into effect by the end of April at the latest, which will then regulate the reorganisation of financing until 2027. More information is available at www.baywa.com/en/press.Print-ready press photos, footage material and video statements can be found here. BayWa AG on X: x.com/BayWaPresseWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei BayWa AG (vink.
