Porsche in Talks to Invest in Varta Lithium-Ion Battery Division
By Adam Whittaker
Luxury carmaker Porsche is in talks with Varta regarding an investment in the German battery manufacturer's subsidiary V4Drive Battery, which produces e-mobility lithium-ion batteries.
The companies entered into a nonbinding term sheet and are in the first phase of agreeing on the documentation for such a transaction, Varta said late Thursday.
Ahead of any investment, Varta would transfer its V4Drive business to its subsidiary V4Drive Battery, which would then see Porsche invest via a capital increase.
No timeline for the deal has been announced and it is subject to due diligence by Porsche and the approval of certain stakeholders of the Varta group.
