German online car-parts retailer Autodoc Holding SE is raising €530 million ($606 million) in debt financing to buy back a minority stake from Apollo Global Management Inc.'s Hybrid Value fund. The move aims to consolidate the company's shareholder structure.

Citibank and Deutsche Bank are arranging the senior secured term loan B facility through the newly established Autodoc Holding SE. This financing is part of Autodoc's strategy to optimize its capital structure during a challenging market period.

The repurchase from Apollo, which acquired its stake in 2024, signals Autodoc's ambition for future market listings. The company is leveraging its operational achievements and growth milestones to prepare for potential IPOs or other strategic market activities.
