Paragon Partners acquires stake in Wetbild
Munich-based Paragon Partners has signed a preliminary agreement with insolvency administrator Arndt Geiwitz to take a majority stake in troubled publishing group Weltbild.
The German media has reported that Paragon has taken a 51% stake in the company for €20m. Further details on the restructuring policy are expected to be finalised by the end of the month, with Arndt Geiwitz remaining a minority shareholder in the company.
The liquidator, who represents all of Weltbild's creditors, contacted numerous parties in order to secure an investor for the entirety of Weltbild's operation, including both local stores in Germany, the holding company and subsidiary operations in Austria and Switzerland. Paragon's offer will enable the group to continue as a whole.
Advisor to Webild:
Both Paragon and Geiwitz aim to advance the redevelopment of the group and return it to a stable footing. The shareholders are in talks to create a new company to which Weltbild employees will be transferred. The buyer stated that it has been buoyed by the constant demand from loyal customers in recent months and is aiming to build on this core consumer base by taking advantage of e-commerce growth opportunities.
