Wallbox closes €15.8M raise to complete debt restructuring
What's the deal? Wallbox (NYSE: WBX) has completed an approximately €11.8 million equity raise plus a separate €4 million investment, capping the financial restructuring the EV-charging company outlined earlier this year. The €11.8 million portion includes a €5 million investment by the Generalitat de Catalunya through IFEMDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →.
Who's involved? The €4 million came from Focus on Next Frontier, the investment company through which Rafael Ruiz channels his industrial holdings, which joins Wallbox as a new shareholder. The raise also drew participation from the company's reference shareholders.
Why now? The package became effective after court approval of Wallbox's restructuring plan turned final and non-appealable, with objection and appeal periods passing without challenge. The equity financing was a condition for the plan to take effect.
What's the endgame? The company said the completion strengthens its balance sheet, reinforces liquidity, and provides "a solid foundation to execute its long-term business strategy." Founded in Barcelona in 2015, Wallbox sells charging and energy management systems in more than 100 countries.
What's the context? This is the latest in a string of modest capital injections tied to balance-sheet repair rather than growth. Since early 2025, Wallbox has repeatedly tapped shareholders and Spanish government-linked backers while negotiating with core banks Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank to refinance a heavy debt load.
In April 2026, it agreed a comprehensive plan covering roughly €169.6 million of debt, pushing maturities out to 2030 and pairing a €10.65 million capital increase with new bank financing and interim liquidity to keep operations running. Part of the current €11.8 million figure reflects capitalised interest on a bridge loan struck that same month.
The signal: The deal is incremental evidence that creditors and core shareholders remain willing to fund Wallbox's turnaround. But its size is modest against both the company's debt burden and its 2024 strategic raise of $45 million led by Generac Power SystemsDealroom has a profile for this one.

Chief executive officer and co-founder Enric Asunción said the company was "delighted to welcome" Focus as a shareholder, adding that Ruiz's automotive experience makes it "a valuable addition to our shareholder base." He said the backing "reflects strong confidence in our long-term strategy and reinforces our ability to execute it."
