voxeljet AG - Court confirms StaRUG Plan
CEO Rudolf Franz comments: 'We implemented the necessary process in a short period of time to minimize disruption to our operating business. With the court's confirmation of the plan, we believe this phase of the process is complete.'
Franz added: 'This plan provides continuity of our operations, reinforcing our commitment to reliably serving our customers and meeting their ongoing and future needs. The plan will secure sustainable financial stability and can lead voxeljet into a successful future.'
The court confirmed the plan in accordance with the German Corporate Stabilization and Restructuring Act (StaRUG) ('StaRUG Plan'). As previously communicated, the plan provides for a simplified reduction of the share capital of voxeljet AG to zero euros. The court-confirmed plan will result in the exclusion of the current shareholders of voxeljet AG without compensation. Subsequently, the company's capital will be increased excluding the subscription rights of the current shareholders. Anzu, as the only financial creditor affected by the plan, will exclusively be admitted to subscribing to the new shares.
The debt waiver will be composed of EUR 500,000 to be waived in 2025 and EUR 1,500,000 in each of 2026 and 2027. Furthermore, the annual interest rate will be reduced to 3% p.a. from July 2026 onwards. No interest payments are due until after June 30, 2026. The plan also stipulates that the promissory note loans will only become due for repayment on January 2, 2031.
The plan shall be implemented immediately after the plan confirmation becomes legally binding.

NBA announces 6 Europe games over next 3 years
The post NBA announces 6 Europe games over next 3 years appeared first on ClutchPoints. The ever-expanding NBA has seen consistent growth in recent years, with franchise valuations at an all-time high. The world's best basketball league has become a global phenomenon under commissioner Adam Silver, and the league is continuing its push in Europe with a series of six games over the next three years. The NBA announced Wednesday that Berlin and London will host games in 2026, Manchester and Paris will host games in 2027, and Berlin and Paris will host games in 2028. The Paris Games have been a highlight of the NBA's regular-season calendar in recent years. The NBA previously made annual regular-season trips to London's O2 Arena from 2011-19, and now Berlin and Manchester will join the fun. The Berlin game will be the first regular-season NBA game ever held in Germany, while Manchester previously hosted a preseason game in 2013. The NBA will launch this European stretch with the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies facing off in Berlin on January 15, 2026, and then in London on January 18, 2026. The participating teams for the games in 2027 and 2028 will be announced before those seasons. The Magic, who also boast of German players Franz and Moritz Wagner, will mark their fourth and fifth appearances in Grizzlies, on the other hand, will be making their European debut. These matchups are made even juicier by the fact that Orlando acquired star guard Desmond Bane from Memphis this offseason. While these teams are traditionally seen as non-basketball markets, the NBA has become a rich financial market, with the 30 franchises currently valued collectively at over $130 billion.

Dollar Gains as US Economic Strength Dampens Fed Rate Cut Expectations
The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.23% and posted a fresh 2-month high. The dollar is supported by today's US economic news that shows a resilient labor market with sticky price pressures and labor costs, which are hawkish for Fed policy. The dollar also has carryover support from Wednesday, when Fed Chair Powell dampened expectations of a Fed rate cut in September when he said the labor market "looks solid" and a moderately restrictive monetary policy is appropriate due to inflation risks from tariffs. US weekly initial unemployment claims rose by +1,000 to 218,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of 224,000. More News from Barchart Dollar Rallies and Gold Sinks as Powell Pushes Back Against Rate Cuts Solid US Economic Reports Boost the Dollar Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! US Jun personal spending rose +0.3% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.4% m/m. Jun personal income rose +0.3% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.2% m/m. The US Jun core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, rose +2.8% y/y, stronger than expectations of +2.7% y/y. The US Q2 employment cost index rose +0.9%, stronger than expectations of +0.8%. The US Jul MNI Chicago PMI rose +6.7 to a four-month high 47.1, stronger than expectations of 42.0. In the latest tariff news, President Trump said today that he will impose a tariff rate of 15% on imports from South Korea and that a deal with Taiwan was also being drafted as the two countries reached "a certain degree of consensus." In addition, trade deals are in the offing for Thailand and Cambodia after they agreed to a ceasefire. Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 40% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting and 36% at the following meeting on October 28-29. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) today is up by +0.15%. The euro has garnered support from today's economic news that shows strength in the Eurozone labor market after the Jun unemployment rate remained unchanged at a record low of 6.2%. Gains in the euro are limited due to a stronger dollar, and after German Jul CPI rose less than expected at the slowest pace in 10 months, a dovish factor for ECB policy. The Eurozone Jun unemployment rate remained unchanged at a record low of 6.2%, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of a +0.1 point increase to 6.3%. The German Jul unemployment change rose +2,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of +15,000. German Jul CPI (EU harmonized) eased to +1.8% y/y from +2.0% y/y in Jun, weaker than expectations of +1.9% y/y and the slowest pace of increase in 10 months. Swaps are pricing in an 11% chance of a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) today is up by +0.64%. The yen gave up overnight gains and tumbled to a 4-month low against the dollar on dovish comments from BOJ Governor Ueda, who said the BOJ wasn't in danger of falling behind on inflation after keeping interest rates unchanged, which dampened expectations of a near-term rate hike by the BOJ. An unexpected decline in the Japanese Jul consumer confidence index also weighed on the yen. The yen initially moved higher in overnight trading after the BOJ kept the overnight call rate unchanged at 0.50% but raised its 2025 Japan GDP estimate and 2025 core CPI estimate. Also, today's news that showed stronger-than-expected Japanese industrial production and retail sales was supportive for the yen. The yen continues to be undercut by concerns that the LDP's loss of its majority in Japan's upper house in the July 20 elections may lead to fiscal deterioration in Japan's government finances, as the government boosts spending and implements tax cuts. The Japan Jul consumer confidence index unexpectedly fell -0.8 to 33.7, weaker than expectations of an increase to 35.0. Japan's Jun industrial production unexpectedly rose +1.7% m/m, stronger than expectations of a decline of -0.8% m/m and the biggest increase in four months. Japan's Jun retail sales rose +1.0% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.5% m/m and the biggest increase in five months. As expected, the BOJ voted 9-0 to keep the overnight call rate unchanged at 0.50%. The BOJ raised its 2025 GDP forecast to 0.6% from 0.5% previously and raised its 2025 core CPI ex-energy estimate to 2.8% from 2.3% previously. BOJ Governor Ueda said the BOJ is continuing with stimulative policy settings even as the price trend rises because the trend is still below its 2.0% target. August gold (GCQ25) today is up +1.80 (+0.05%), and September silver (SIU25) is down -1.089 (-2.89%). Precious metals are mixed today, with silver falling to a 4-week low. Concerns that US tariff policy will undercut global growth are fueling some safe-haven demand for precious metals after President Trump on Wednesday said he will impose a tariff rate of 25% on India starting August 1 and suggested he would add an additional penalty over the country's energy purchases from Russia. Precious metals continue to receive safe-haven support from geopolitical risks, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Gains in precious metals today are limited due to the strength of the dollar. Also, today's US economic news shows a resilient labor market and sticky price pressures and labor costs, which are hawkish for Fed policy and negative for precious metals. In addition, precious metals are being undercut by negative carryover from Wednesday, when Fed Chair Powell said a moderately restrictive monetary policy is appropriate due to inflation risks from tariffs. Silver prices are sharply lower today on negative carryover from a -21% plunge in copper prices today to a 3.5-month low after President Trump excluded refined copper imports from tariffs. Additionally, concerns that Chinese industrial metals demand remains stagnant are undercutting silver prices after China's July manufacturing PMI unexpectedly fell -0.4 to 49.3, weaker than expectations of no change at 49.7.
