BayWa AG Explores Alternative Financing for BayWa r.e. AG

BayWa AG is in advanced discussions with core banks and significant shareholders regarding an alternative financing plan for BayWa r.e. AG. Previously, BayWa AG had intended to transfer its majority stake in BayWa r.e. AG to Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP). However, economic reasons led to the collapse of these negotiations.

The new financing concept aims to meet BayWa r.e. AG’s capital needs during a restructuring phase until 2028. This approach involves direct financing to BayWa r.e. AG and shareholder loans from BayWa AG. This step ensures BayWa AG remains the majority shareholder for now, with positive equity reported in the 2024 financial statements.

Future plans include operational separation and transferring BayWa AG’s stake in BayWa r.e. AG to an investment management company. The board anticipates agreeing on restructuring adjustments soon.
