BayWa plans to divest and sell key international affiliates

MUNICH (dpa-AFX) – BayWa AG (BYWG), a German provider of trade, logistics and ancillary services, plans to carry out a rights issue and sell key international affiliates as part of its transformation plan. The plan includes organizational rationalization and numerous operational cost-cutting measures, while maintaining the core areas: Agricultural Trade and Services, Construction, Energy and Agricultural Equipment.

The second draft report of the restructuring expert confirms the feasibility of this plan. The funds generated will increase liquidity and reduce financial liabilities. By the end of the transformation phase on December 31, 2027, the equity ratio is expected to improve substantially, with the company generating normal market earnings.

Negotiations with funding partners and stakeholders remain constructive. The Board of Directors aims to complete the restructuring agreement and reorganization of the long-term financing by the end of 2027.

The final restructuring report and completion of the recapitalization are planned by the beginning of the second quarter of 2025 at the latest.
