Andreas Rentz/Getty Images News Bayer ( BAYRY ) has secured €3B ($3.4B) in equity capital through an agreement with global asset manager Apollo ( APO ) to strengthen its capital structure. Under the deal, Apollo-managed funds and affiliates will acquire a minority, non-controlling stake in a newly created entity holding Bayer's long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) business. Bayer will retain a majority stake and full operational control, with no changes to the business strategy or operations. The LARC business will remain part of Bayer's Pharmaceuticals division and will continue to be fully consolidated in the company's financial statements. “This transaction represents a strategic financing solution that strengthens our capital structure while preserving full operational control over this core pharmaceuticals business,” said Bayer CFO Dr. Judith Hartmann. “It enhances our financial flexibility as we manage increased liquidity requirements this year related to bond maturities and litigation procedures, while continuing to execute our long-term priorities.” The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to approval by antitrust authorities and customary closing conditions.

Thomas Faull/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Shares of British low-cost airline easyJet ( EJTTF ) surged more than 14% on Friday on London exchange after the carrier agreed in principle to a £5.7B takeover offer from Apollo Global Management's Apollo Management X. Apollo is offering £7.15 per easyJet share, representing an 81% premium to the airline's share price before takeover speculation emerged. The new offer values easyJet at roughly £5.7B, above Castlelake's £5.2B bid, and prompted the airline's board to withdraw its support for the rival proposal. "Apollo has followed easyJet for many years and continues to regard it as one of the most attractive businesses in the global aviation sector and a highly differentiated franchise with significant long-term growth potential." easyJet said in an update to investors. The airline said Apollo's proposal delivers a superior outcome for shareholders, including the option to roll over existing shareholdings into a new Apollo-managed holding company.

Spain is striving to strengthen business links with the US, despite tensions with Donald Trump , according to Economy and Trade Minister Carlos Cuerpo . In a week where the US president once again lashed out at the southern European country, Cuerpo touted investment by American firms in Spain that jumped by about 18% in 2025, as well as the opening by Spain of new trade offices in the US. “Somehow the relationship is so strong that it’s actually still ongoing,” he told Bloomberg TV in Brussels on Friday. “We have to make the best out of that existing relation. And that’s what we are trying to do.” Disagreements with Washington escalated when Spain rejected a NATO defense-spending goal of 5% of gross domestic product last year and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez later denied the US access to his military bases for bombings against Iran. Having initially berated Spain at a NATO summit on Wednesday, Trump went on to claim the nation had “honored a request for lots of payment .” Without commenting specifically on those remarks, Cuerpo said Spain is “making good” on its defense-spending commitments but that “nothing has changed” on the NATO target. “We will cover for the capabilities that are assigned within NATO,” he said. “We have an update of the threats that all members will be facing and then you assign capabilities to cover for those threats. And our share will be covered by Spain for sure.” Trump had initially threatened to cut off trade with Spain, though doing so would be tricky as the country is part of the European Union, which oversees such policies for all members. “The commission has been very clear, also this week, on the fact that they would of course always protect the interest of the union and of each and every one of its member states,” Cuerpo said. EU nations recently gave final approval for a US trade deal that would avoid new tariffs. “We will make good on the agreement that we signed from the European side,” Cuerpo said. “Everything is set so that we ...

Jens Schluter | Afp | Getty Images Volkswagen 's management plans to drastically reduce its model lineup and further cut capacity, although the German auto giant stopped short of announcing any job cuts following tense stakeholder talks. Europe's largest automaker on Thursday said the model lineup will be gradually cut by up to half over the coming years as it concentrates on the most attractive market segments. Production capacity, meanwhile, will be reduced to nine million vehicles per year, compared to a goal of 12 million before the coronavirus pandemic. "With our future plan, we are moving into the next phase of transformation by our own means," Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said in a statement. "We are making the Volkswagen Group faster, more resilient and more competitive," he added. The update followed a high-stakes boardroom showdown with the group's supervisory board on Thursday and comes after reports that the company is weighing up shutting four German factories and implementing as many as 100,000 job cuts. The mass layoff plan, which would represent the most radical overhaul in the firm's nearly 90-year history, is staunchly opposed by German lawmakers and powerful labor unions. The auto giant had already laid out plans to implement sweeping job cuts and launched a major product offensive, seeking to counter pressures ranging from U.S. import tariffs to intensifying competition from Chinese car brands. Volkswagen employees are taking part in an information and protest event organized by IG Metall in front of the VW plant in Zwickau. Picture Alliance | Picture Alliance | Getty Images The latest reported layoffs, however, would be double the 50,000 job cuts previously announced and now purportedly include the closure of four German plants: Hanover, Zwickau, Emden, and the Audi facili...
