Talgo's Extraordinary General Assembly this Friday approved an increasein capital of 45 million euros, and the agreement for the new financing of the company includes Sidenor and the State Company for Industrial Holdings (SEPI) together with the Basque Government. 

In this way, the company will "soon" formalize the acquisition of 29.76% of the company by the Basque consortium. The SEPI will provide EUR 45 million to control 7.8% of the capital, EUR 4.25 per share, with a capital increase, which must be implemented within 15 working days from this Friday.

Talgo has informed the National Securities and Exchange Commission (CNMV) that the capital increase will be accompanied by two debt issues of 105 million .

This Friday's Extraordinary Board has not considered the decision of Sidenor, the banking foundations BBK and Vital , and Finkatuz to take 29.76% of the company's public funds for 156.67 million at the same price as the SEPI (4.25 euros per share), which was in the hands of the Pegasus equipment (made up of the Trilantic fund and part of the Oriol family, the founders of the Talgo) and other minority shareholders.

The shareholders have approved with more than 97% of the votes in favour all the issues that will enable the company to undertake the new financing scheme. Oriol 's president, Carlos Palacio, has argued  that these agreements have been "essential" to preserve the company's future and protect shareholders, customers and creditors.

At this Friday's meeting, the following measures have been approved: an increase in capital of EUR 45 million, the issuance of 300 bonds of EUR 30 million convertible into ordinary shares, another 750 convertible bonds of EUR 75 million and the conclusion of a syndicated financing contract of up to EUR 770 million, as well as guarantees of up to EUR 500 million with partial guarantee from Cesce.
