  • Drucksache 19/27457 19
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 19/27457 19. Wahlperiode 10.03.2021 Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Torsten Herbst, Frank Sitta, Oliver Luksic, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion der FDP – Drucksache 19/26671 – Entwicklung der wirtschaftlichen Lage der Arriva PLC Vorbemerkung der Fragesteller Im Jahr 2010 hat die Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG) für rund 2,7 Mrd. Euro in- klusive der Übernahme vorhandener Schulden das britische Unternehmen Ar- riva PLC erworben. Mit Sitz in Sunderland betreibt Arriva in mehreren euro- päischen Ländern Bus- und Bahnverkehre. Zunächst galt das Unternehmen als wirtschaftliche attraktive Akquisition für die DB AG. So erwirtschaftete Arri- va Anfang der 2010er-Jahre mit rund 50 000 Mitarbeitern einen Jahresumsatz von mehr als 5 Mrd. Euro. (https://www.handelsblatt.com/26044118.html) Vor dem Hintergrund der immer weiter steigenden Schuldenlast des DB-Konzerns unternahm der DB-Vorstand im Jahr 2019 zunächst den Versuch, Arriva zu verkaufen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt beliefen sich die Schulden der DB AG, auch aufgrund neuer Bilanzierungsvorgaben, auf 25 Mrd. Euro. Geplant war zu- nächst, durch den Komplettverkauf bis zu vier Mrd. Euro einzunehmen. Im weiteren Verlauf des Jahres 2019 scheiterte der Verkaufsversuch jedoch. Medienberichten war zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu entnehmen, dass dem DB- Aufsichtsrat die von Investoren genannten Angebote zu niedrig gewesen sei- en. So sollte zumindest der ursprüngliche Kaufpreis von rund 3 Mrd. Euro durch den Verkauf erzielt werden (https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unterneh men/arriva-und-brexit-deutsche-bahn-blaest-boersengang-bei-britischer-tochte r-ab-a-1292544.html). Da ein solches Angebot nicht vorlag, entschied die DB AG daraufhin, Arriva im Jahr 2020 an die Börse zu bringen.
