VARTA AG Approved A Financial Restructuring Plan, Secures Investment From Porsche The 130-year-old German-based company became heavily indebted and began a financial reorganization under the German Corporation Stabilization Act (StaRUG) in June 2024

Varta produces a wide variety of battery technologies that have seen declines in market demand but the company’s subsidiary, V4Drive, produces large format lithium-ion batteries used in some Porsche vehicles

As a result of the reorganization, the company’s shares were delisted from the Frankfurt stock exchange at zero value and its €485 million debt was reduced to €200 million

A longtime investor in the company and Porsche AG invested €60 million with the latter gaining a 50% stake in Varta AG and a 70% stake in the V4Drive subsidiary
