Talgo Shareholders Approve Recapitalization, Clearing Way for Basque-Led Stake Purchase and SEPI Entry

Shareholder approval unlocks a state-backed recapitalization designed to stabilize the Spanish train builder.

Overview

  • Investors approved issuing 10,588,235 new shares at €4.25 each to raise about €45 million, with pre-emptive rights excluded.
  • The meeting authorized two convertible bond issues totaling €105 million, comprising €30 million and €75 million tranches tied to future share conversions.
  • A syndicated financing facility of up to €770 million and a guarantees line of up to €500 million received approval, both with partial CESCE backing.
  • SEPI will join the share register following the capital measures and has proposed Juan Antonio Sánchez Corchero for the board as the council is reduced to eight seats.
  • The decisions clear the conditions to formalize the Basque consortium’s purchase of 29.78% from Trilantic led by Sidenor owner José Antonio Jainaga.
