Fanatec, a major sim racing hardware developer, faces a critical internal conflict. The former CEO, Thomas Jackermeier, was ousted and the company may undergo a restructuring process (StaRUG) that could wipe out shareholder investments and benefit a new investment firm, Birkenstein Capital, with connections to Fanatec's current CFO.
Jackermeier, supported by key suppliers and creditors, opposes the restructuring and secured funding to ensure the company's survival. Concerns arise regarding Birkenstein's motives and potential impact on product quality and brand integrity.
The sim racing community is urged to raise awareness and support Jackermeier's efforts to protect Fanatec's future and prevent an unethical takeover.
