Bayern Munich sells final 5% stake to Viessmann for €250 million

Bayern Munich has agreed to sell its final 5% stake in Bayern München AG to heating company Viessmann for €250 million. This decision comes after Bayern previously sold parts of its operations while adhering to the Bundesliga's 50+1 ownership rule. The partnership with Viessmann has evolved since 2018, culminating in this stake sale, which elevates Viessmann from a platinum partner to a main partner. Previously, Bayern was not actively seeking to sell more shares, but found the right opportunity with Viessmann, with Max Viessmann already sitting on Bayern’s supervisory board.
