Eybl International AG (ISIN: AT0000908157) announces that the recent talks about a takeover by the Slovenian Prevent Group have not led to a positive conclusion so far.
Owing to direct financial consequences of the current economic crisis on Eybl International AG the management decided, in line with legal requirements, to file for administrative receivership for Eybl International AG and its subsidiary Eybl Austria Gmbh with the Krems provincial court.
The two companies will also notify the Austrian Employment Agency AMS of potential lay-offs of their Austrian staff of together approx. 600 people, as a precautionary measure and in compliance with early-warning requirements.
Based on preliminary talks already conducted with customers, suppliers and banks, and on successful restructuring measures taken over the past months the management of Eybl International AG aims to speedily conclude the administrative receivership proceedings, and thereby secure the jobs in question for the long term.
