Agreements to restructure bonds at an AGM also approved the election of new directors to the company, including Dr. Dirk Wolfertz, Bernd Luft, Willi Loose, Jeffrey Casper, Keith Corbin and Klaus Schulze.

The company posted first quarter 2014 revenue of €45.4 million, down 51.9% year-on-year.

However, AEG Power expects revenue of approximately €220 million in 2014, while returning to positive EBIT and liquidity of approximately €20 million at the end of the year.
