BayWa says court confirms restructuring plan

(Reuters) -German agricultural supplies trader BayWa said on Friday its restructuring plan was confirmed by a Munich court, after it was approved by investors and creditors.

The restructuring plan is to be implemented as soon as the confirmation becomes legally binding, the company added.

The Munich-based trader of farming supplies and produce has been grappling with rising borrowing costs, forcing it to embark on a restructuring, including job cuts.

BayWa said in May that around 300 affected creditors agreed to an extension of loans until the end of 2028, as well as a capital increase of up to 201.6 million euros ($230 million).
