HOCHDORF Holding AG (SWX:HOCN) is now focused on selling its operational subsidiary HOCHDORF Holding AG (Hochdorf Swiss Nutrition Ltd) as it is hard to find a buyer for the entire group. ?Discussions to date have clearly shown that there is currently no realistic prospect of finding investors or buyers for the entire Hochdorf Group or for the holding company Hochdorf Holding Ltd,? the firm said on April 22, 2024.

Hochdorf has been seeking a solution as it is facing financial legacy burdens, which are difficult to be paid off from its own resources. In March, the firm expanded its approach to potential investors. Hochdorf Swiss Nutrition is the company within the group which runs the operational business.

According to the statement, its potential divestment is ?the most viable solution?. Regarding the holding entity, various options are being evaluated, ranging from continued existence to dissolution. In case of a dissolution, shareholders would have to expect a significant or total loss of their investment, the company said.
