Troubled Swiss energy storage group Leclanché has secured a temporary exemption from the publication of the firm’s annual report for 2025 ― but said trading of shares in the firm remains suspended.

The company confirmed on June 10 it had been given until July 31 to file the report with SIX Exchange Regulation (SER), which regulates and monitors exchange participants and issuers on the Swiss Stock Exchange.

The temporary exemption for publishing the report follows a previous extension granted on April 29, which extended the original April 30 deadline for publication of the report to May 31.

SIX said on June 1 it was temporarily suspending shares trading in Leclanché until the annual report was released.

The report extension deadline comes just weeks after Leclanché announced the appointment of Jens Emrich as chief financial officer, to succeed Hubert Angleys ― who left the company last November on completion of what Leclanché said was his temporary assignment to the post.

Emrich’s appointment came just days after Leclanché said it had concluded a financing arrangement with strategic partners in the amount of CHF 16.7 million ($22 million) to support its near-term operational requirements.

Batteries International reported in June 2025 that Leclanché was pushing ahead with efforts “to achieve and maintain a positive equity position” and to demonstrate the firm’s ability to continue as a going concern through at least June 2026.

The company had said previously that it was in a situation of negative equity as of the end of 2024.
