Euler Hermes Rating senkt das Rating der Joh. Friedrich Behrens AG auf C mit negativem Ausblick
Hamburg (ots)
Die Joh. Friedrich Behrens AG konnte die Verhandlungen mit potentiellen Fremdkapitalgebern bislang nicht erfolgreich beenden, da keine Einigung über wesentliche Vertragsinhalte gefunden werden konnte. Somit ist nach Ansicht der Ratingagentur die Anschlussfinanzierung der am 11. November 2020 fälligen Anleihe nicht gesichert. Ob es in der kurzen verbleibenden Zeit noch gelingt, eine innerhalb der gesetzlichen Fristen umsetzbare Alternative zu finden, ist jedoch unsicher. Die Joh. Friedrich Behrens AG erwägt daher parallel einen möglichen kurzfristigen Insolvenzantrag zu stellen. Vor diesem Hintergrund bewertet Euler Hermes Rating das Finanzrisiko nunmehr als sehr stark erhöht. Der Ausblick für das Rating ist negativ.
Die Joh. Friedrich Behrens AG ist einer der europaweit marktführenden Hersteller von Befestigungstechnik für Holz, mit Holz und holzähnlichen Werkstoffen. Die Joh. Friedrich Behrens AG erzielte 2019 mit durchschnittlich 446 Mitarbeitern einen Umsatz von EUR 118,8 Mio.
