Lilium Welcomes KfW Due Diligence Undertaking
2024年5月15日 - 8:30PM
The Federal Government of Germany and the Free State of Bavaria
have commissioned the state development bank KfW in Frankfurt to
conduct due diligence on Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM), developer of the
first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) jet and
global pioneer in Regional Air Mobility (RAM), as part of the
customary state support process. Once the diligence is completed
and results satisfactory, Lilium expects to receive guarantees from
the Federal Government and the Free State of Bavaria as security
for a KfW loan, the exact amount of which is yet to be determined.
“We would like to thank those responsible in
Berlin and Munich for their decision and the constructive
cooperation over the last few weeks,” said Lilium CEO Klaus Roewe.
“We expect due diligence to be swift as transparency is a daily
routine for us as a listed company.” Roewe continued:
“Electrification is in strong public interest as
a contribution to the necessary decarbonization of the industry.
German government support is not only about creating a level
playing field with the USA and China, but also about Germany
signaling to the financial markets that innovations and new
technologies are supported in Germany.”
Lilium is a world-leading pioneer in electric
aviation and the only manufacturer worldwide with a certification
basis for a powered lift eVTOL aircraft in Europe and the USA.
Founded in 2015 by four graduates of the Technical University of
Munich, and located at the Oberpfaffenhofen airport, near Munich,
Germany, Lilium currently employs a workforce of over 1,000, more
than 80% of whom work in highly specialized engineering and
manufacturing fields. Lilium has a very international workforce and
is building a strong European set-up: Lilium N.V. is registered in
The Netherlands, Lilium has its Headquarters, design/engineering
and industrial facilities in Munich, and a flight test center in
Spain. The company recently announced its discussions with the
French government to explore the expansion of its industrial
footprint into France.
Initial production of the Lilium Jet began in
2023 with entry into service planned for 2026. Lilium has
accumulated an order pipeline of over 780 Lilium Jets, including
binding orders and MoU agreements from operators in the United
States, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. According
to estimates by Morgan Stanley as of 2021, the global eVTOL market
could be worth $1 trillion in global revenues by 2040.
