BASF has mandated Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan as Global Coordinators to lead the preparation of the planned initial public offering (IPO) of its Agricultural Solutions business.

With this, BASF Agricultural Solutions is taking the next step on its path toward IPO readiness, targeted by mid-2027. As previously announced, BASF plans to list Agricultural Solutions as a Societas Europaea (SE) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The legal and operational separation of the business remains on track. To date, approximately 80 percent of the global Agricultural Solutions business has transitioned into separate legal entities that operate on a new industry-specific ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.

As part of its Capital Markets Day on November 24, 2026, BASF will also provide a strategic and operational overview of the Agricultural Solutions business. At the event, all four members of the Management Board of BASF Agricultural Solutions will be present.

No decision has yet been made regarding the execution or timing of an IPO.
