Lindahl advisor to Koenigsegg in growth investment

Lindahl has assisted Swedish megacar manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB (“Koenigsegg”) with an investment from New York based Chieftain Capital Management, Inc. (“Chieftain”). The investment of approximately 50 million EUR supports the next growth chapter for Koenigsegg and further strengthens its position as a global leader in the megacar industry.

The investment, executed through a directed new share issue, results in Chieftain becoming an indirect new minority shareholder in Koenigsegg. Concurrently, Christian von Koenigsegg is increasing his stake in Koenigsegg by participating in the share issue through the majority holding company.

Chieftain is a New York-based family business that invests in high-quality businesses with exceptional management teams.

Koenigsegg, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, is a globally leading manufacturer of iconic megacars, including the Jesko, Agera, and Regera. The company is led by founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg together with COO/CMO Halldora von Koenigsegg. The plan for the coming years is to scale up production and develop a pipeline of new vehicles that will further establish Koenigsegg’s global presence while maintaining the cutting-edge innovation and exclusivity that define the company.

Lindahl’s team mainly consisted of Staffan Brandt (lead partner), Annika Brandt (project manager), Viktor Friberg, André Persson, Anna Wallin, Josefin Pilz, Viktor Engholm, and Jonathan Åkesson.
