Investors have expressed interest in a €700 million payout 🍃to help KTM, as it looks to restructure in self-administration on the backdrop of at least €1.8 billion in debt.

Staff layoff forecasts have also been reduced from 500 to 300, while November and December salaries will be paid - if all goes well - by the ✱end of January.

However, information released by creditor protectioꦏn organisation Alpenlandischer Kreditorenverband (AKV), stated und🅘er reorganisation measures that “in order to reduce costs, the withdrawal from MotoGP, Moto2/Moto3 is planned”.

No timeline has been given for this by AKV.
