CEO Saeidi said the restart is self-funded so far, with investor talks open (https://automationspraxis.industrie.de/menschen-macher/united-robotics-group-die-servicerobotik-zu-den-menschen-bringen/). Excluded: EUR 250M cost to RAG of the insolvency of the old RSBG-owned group (filed Feb 2025): a loss in an NRW parliament question, not a round (https://www.landtag.nrw.de/portal/WWW/dokumentenarchiv/Dokument/MMD18-17636.pdf). Excluded: SoftBank's 24.9% stake (2022): paid in kind with SoftBank Robotics Europe, no amount; industry sources valued that group only in the 'three-digit millions' (https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/automatisierung-rag-stiftung-formt-roboterverbund-united-robotics-uebernimmt-pepper/28192182.html). No valuation: the Jan 2026 Milliardenbewertung headline is a target. Founded 2021 as United Robotics Health & Food GmbH, rooted in WS System GmbH (2014); took the old IP in 2025.",
