New strategic anchor
shareholder to invest in Voltabox
Delbrück, November 13, 2021 - The
Management Board of Voltabox AG [ISIN DE000A2E4LE9]
has been informed by paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA that
it has sold 49% of its most recently held 51% stake
in the company. A block of shares amounting to 28%
has been acquired by the strategic investor Trionity
Invest GmbH. A stake of around 21% is now held by the
Swiss financial investor EW-Trade AG. The closing of
the transaction is expected to take place at short
notice.
Trionity Invest GmbH is an affiliate of Triathlon
Holding GmbH, a group of companies primarily active
in the development, production and marketing of
industrial batteries, particularly for use in
intralogistics applications. The new anchor
shareholder intends to actively support Voltabox AG
in its ongoing restructuring.
Following the completion of the sale, Walter
Schäfers and Hermann-Josef Börnemeier have
stepped down from their mandets as members of the
Supervisory Board of Voltabox AG. The Management
Board is going to submit an application to the
respective registration court in order to appoint new
members to the Supervisory Board.
Immediately prior to this, on November 12, 2021,
Voltabox AG has realized the announced divestment of
its automotive business, which particularly includes
the production of starter batteries for motorcycles
and racing cars, to paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA. The
transaction to paragon as the former majority
shareholder in a dominant position is a related party
transaction pursuant to § 111a of the German
Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The transaction with a
volume of € 8.6 million is subject to approval
by the Supervisory Board.
