A groundbreaking day lies ahead for Vienna Austria on Friday.
The general meeting of Viola Investment GmbH will take place on Friday (2 p.m.). In principle, the new board of the violets should be determined. However, another item on the agenda is causing a stir.
According to a Kurier report, Jürgen Werner & Co., which holds 49.9 percent of FK Austria Wien AG with Viola Investment GmbH, could sell their shares. Accordingly, an investment group from the USA is said to be prepared to put around 17 million euros on the table for this.
The potential buyer should subsequently take over the stake with all rights and obligations and should also want to invest money in the sporting development. There should also be a positive annual financial statement.
Werner denies it
Werner himself has so far denied a signature; the talks are said to have been initiated by the Croatian entrepreneur Josko Rokov. While CFO Harald Zagiczek was the first point of contact, Werner took over when the talks stalled. There should now be an agreement.
On Friday, the general meeting will vote on whether to approve the sale of the shares. Zagiczek would then have to give potential buyers insight into the numbers. Only then will it become clear whether there is actually a million dollar deal and whether a US investor takes over the distribution circle.
