Die '''Tognum AG''' ist ein börsennotierter Anbieter von [[Dieselmotor]]en, kompletten Antriebs- und Energiesystemen rund um das Kernunternehmen [[MTU Friedrichshafen]] mit Sitz in [[Friedrichshafen]]. Die Unternehmen der Tognum-Gruppe stellen Antriebe für Schiffe, Schienenfahrzeuge, schwere Landfahrzeuge und Industriemaschinen sowie Energieanlagen auf Basis von Dieselmotoren, Gasmotoren und Gasturbinen her.

Zu Tognum gehören u.a. die Unternehmen MTU Friedrichshafen, MTU Onsite Energy Diesel Power Systems (früher: Katolight), MTU Onsite Energy Gas Power Systems (früher: MDE Dezentrale Energiesysteme), MTU Onsite Energy Fuel Cell Systems (früher: CFC Solutions), [[SKL Motor GmbH]] <ref>http://www.mtu-online.com/mtu/en/pres/pressrepo/pressrepo1544/press1360/</ref> sowie L'Orange.

Mitte 2011 wurde die Mehrheit der Anteile an der Tognum AG für 3,4 Mrd. Euro durch die Engine Holding GmbH (Stuttgart), vormals "Siebte Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft Zeus mbH"<ref>siehe http://investoren.tognum.de/Tognum/pdf/offer/Ergaenzende-Stellungnahme.pdf (S. 27)</ref>, im Rahmen einer [[freundliche Übernahme|freundlichen Übernahme]] erworben. Dem ging ein mehrfach geändertes Angebot<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/engineholding/pdf/Angebotsunterlage_deutsch.pdf</ref> der Engine Holding GmbH, einem [[Gemeinschaftsunternehmen]] der [[Daimler AG]] und der Vinters International Limited, einer mittelbaren [[Tochtergesellschaft]] <ref>http://investoren.tognum.de/Tognum/pdf/offer/Ergaenzende-Stellungnahme.pdf (S. 27)</ref> der Rolls-Royce Group plc., [[Rolls-Royce (Triebwerke)]], voraus.<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/cgi-bin/show.ssp?companyName=engineholding&language=German&id=1000</ref>

== Der Name Tognum ==
Im Kunstnamen Tognum soll „Tog“ für „kraftvoll ziehen“ stehen, „um“ soll aus dem Lateinischen angelehnt das sprachliche Sinnbild für bedeutende Gegenstände und Monumente sein und im Nord- und Mitteleuropäischen auch für das Begriffspaar „Heim“ und „Heimat“ stehen.

== Geschichte und Aktionärsstruktur ==
Im Dezember 2005 verkaufte [[Daimler AG|DaimlerChrysler]] die [[MTU Friedrichshafen]] für 1,6 Milliarden Euro an die schwedische [[Private Equity]] Gruppe [[EQT (Unternehmen)|EQT]].

EQT bildete dann im Juli 2006 die Tognum GmbH als Holding, mit der MTU als Kernunternehmen. In der Holding waren ursprünglich die Unternehmen MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH, MDE Dezentrale Energiesysteme GmbH, CFC Solutions GmbH, L'Orange GmbH und Rotorion. Im April 2007 wurde Katolight hinzugekauft. Am 1. Januar 2008 wurde schließlich die SKL Motor GmbH von der Tognum übernommen.<ref> [http://www.finanznachrichten.de/nachrichten-2007-10/9276579-tognum-uebernimmt-skl-motor-gmbh-in-magdeburg-016.htm Tognum übernimmt SKL Motor GmbH in Magdeburg]: dpa-AFX </ref>
Anfang November gab die Holding den Abschluss des Verkaufs der Gelenkwellensparte Rotorion an die IFA bekannt. Tognum wird noch fünf Jahre mit 25 Prozent an der [[IFA-Rotorion Holding]] GmbH beteiligt bleiben und sich anschließend vollständig aus dem Autozuliefergeschäft zurückziehen.<ref> [http://www.boersennews.de/nachrichten/artikel/roundup-tognum-hat-verkauf-von-rotorion-abgeschlossen-closing-erfolgt/124020526/1000 Tognum hat Verkauf von Rotorion abgeschlossen – Closing erfolgt]</ref>

Im Juli 2007 wurde Tognum an die Börse ([[MDAX]]) gebracht, nachdem es in eine [[Aktiengesellschaft|AG]] umgewandelt worden war. EQT war aber weiterhin mit einer Beteiligung von ca. 35 % größter Einzelaktionär, bis Ende April 2008 die [[Daimler AG]] von EQT für 585 Mio. Euro 22,3 % der Anteile übernahm und bis Mitte 2011 mit 28,4 % bedeutendster Einzelaktionär der Tognum war.<ref> FTD.de:''[http://www.ftd.de/unternehmen/autoindustrie/:Daimler%20Tognum%20Chance/349780.html Daimler gibt Tognum zweite Chance]'' Auf: ''www.ftd.de'' 2.

Am 7. März 2011 gab Daimler bekannt, Tognum zusammen mit [[Rolls-Royce (Triebwerke)|Rolls-Royce Group plc]] übernehmen zu wollen.<ref> [http://www.boerse.ard.de/content.jsp?key=dokument_521064]</ref> Nach Erhöhung des Angebotspreises von 24 Euro um 2 Euro auf 26 Euro empfahl das Management der Tognum AG am 18. Mai 2011 die Annahme der Offerte.<ref>http://www.tognum.com/presse/pressemitteilungen/presse-detail/news/amended_joint_statement_by_the_management_board_and_supervisory_board_in_accordance_with_section_27/news_smode/text/cHash/de342b26a16948780a3c679a4b8b7361/index.de.html</ref> Die Mitglieder des Management erlösten bei ihren eigenen Aktienverkäufen hohe, zum Teil im zweistelligen Millionenbereich, Beträge. <ref>http://investors.tognum.de/tognum/pdf/31052011_TGM_Directors_Dealings_bis_30052011_de.pdf</ref> Der seinerzeitige [[CEO]] [[Volker Heuer]] 78,96 Mio. Euro, der jetzige CEO Coers 59,46 Mio. Euro (siehe Directors' Dealings mit Tognum-Aktien oder Derivaten).

Im Juli 2011 gab die [[Deutsche Börse]] bekannt, dass die Aktien von Tognum aus dem MDAX genommen werden, da inzwischen weniger als 10% der Aktien im freien Handel sind und die Papiere für alle Auswahlindizes der Deutschen Börse disqualifiziert sind.<ref>Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 28. Juni 2011</ref> Kurz zuvor wurde bekanntgegeben, dass die Engine Holding GmbH über 94% der Tognum-Aktien verfügt. <ref>Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 28.

=== MTU Onsite Energy ===
Die Dach[[marke]] MTU Onsite Energy wurde im September 2008 ins Leben gerufen. In ihr werden sämtliche Aktivitäten der dezentralen Energieerzeugung gebündelt. Zum Produktionsprogramm gehören standardisierte und individualisierte Dieselaggregate für Notstrom, Grund- und Spitzenlast sowie [[Blockheizkraftwerk]]e zu [[Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung]] auf Basis von Gasmotoren oder Gasturbinen. Der [[Marke]] gehören die Unternehmen MDE Dezentrale Energiesysteme GmbH, Katolight und das PowerGen-Geschäft der MTU Friedrichshafen an.

==== Brennstoffzellenengagement ====
Am 29. Dezember 2010 verkündete Tognum, dass das Unternehmen alle Aktivitäten im [[Brennstoffzelle]]n-Bereich einstellen wird.<ref>http://investoren.tognum.de/cgi-bin/show.ssp?companyName=tognum&language=German&id=3101&newsID=1016074;[http://www.bhkw-infozentrum.de/statement/tognum_stellt_produktion_der_brennstoffzelle_hot-module_ein.html Tognum stellt Produktion der Brennstoffzellen ein]</ref> Nach einer Pressemitteilung der Tognum AG vom 9. März 2011 ist das [[Brennstoffzelle]]nengagement zwecks möglicher Fortführung durch Rollce-Royce besonderer Gegenstand der [[Übernahme]]gespräche.<ref>[http://investoren.tognum.de/Tognum/pdf/offer/110309_PM_GER_final.pdf%20(Seite%206,%20Punkt%2013) http://investoren.tognum.de/Tognum/pdf/offer/110309_PM_GER_final.pdf (Seite 6, Punkt 13)]</ref> Nach einer Vereinbarung vom 16. Mai 2011 (5. Punkt) zwischen Tognum, Daimler, Rollce-Royce und dem Bieter Engine Holding GmbH sollte die [[Due Diligence]] in Bezug auf das Brennstoffzellengeschäft fortgeführt und bis zum 10. Juni 2011 entschieden werden, ob das Brennstoffzellengeschäft erworben wird. <ref>http://investoren.tognum.de/Tognum/pdf/offer/Ergaenzende-Stellungnahme.pdf (Seite 14f.)</ref> Eine Erklärung hierzu steht bis heute aus.

=== Delisting ===
Noch vor Jahresfrist 2011 ist das [[Delisting]] der Aktien der Tognum AG an der [[Deutsche Börse|Deutschen Börse]] vorgesehen.<ref> Übernahme von Tognum ist perfekt http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/uebernahme-von-tognum-ist-perfekt/5854938.html</ref>
<ref>http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/weg-fuer-tognum-uebernahme-ist-frei/4545476.html</ref> Damit geht ein [[Squeeze-out]] der restlichen Aktionäre einher. <ref>Tognum vor Börsenabschied http://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Tognum-vor-Boersenabschied-article4021251.html</ref> Der Handel im regulierten Markt (Prime Standard) der [[Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse]] (vgl. Abschnitt 11.9 der Angebotsunterlage vom 5. April 2011)<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/engineholding/pdf/Angebotsunterlage_deutsch.pdf</ref> wurde bereits am 27. August 2011 eingestellt.<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/engineholding/pdf/26_08_10_bekanntmachung.pdf</ref>

=== Aktuelle Entwicklungen im Bereich Compliance ===
Im Nachgang zu einer Pressemitteilung vom 17. Oktober 2011 <ref>http://www.tognum.com/presse/pressemitteilungen/presse-detail/news/tognum_informs_about_internal_investigation/news_smode/text/cHash/3a5c3db9c92a808c187b032346ea9328/index.de.html</ref> "über interne Untersuchungen im Zusammenhang mit Vermittlerverträgen" bei MTU Asia ab 2000 wurde das für diesen Geschäftsbereich erst zu Anfang 2011 berufene Vorstandsmitglied Peter Kneipp "im gegenseitigen Einvernehmen mit sofortiger Wirkung" zum 28. Oktober 2011 freigestellt.<ref>http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/motorenhersteller-tognum-entlaesst-vorstand/5767564.html, "Motorenhersteller Tognum entlässt Vorstand"</ref> Im Folgenden schied Kneipp zum 29. Februar 2012 aus dem Unternehmen aus.<ref>http://www.tognum.com/presse/pressemitteilungen/presse-detail/news/tognum_decides_to_implement_further_measures_in_connection_with_compliance_investigation_in_asia/news_smode/text/cHash/98568e47f0f0fe231198d6b032395bcd/index.de.html, "Tognum beschließt weitere Maßnahmen aufgrund Compliance Untersuchung in Asien"</ref> Kneipp hatte bis 2010 sieben Jahre lang das Asien-Geschäft geleitet. Zuvor hatte die Staatsanwaltschaft Ravensburg ein [[Ermittlungsverfahren]] wegen des Anfangsverdachts der [[Bestechung]] und [[Untreue]] eingeleitet.<ref>http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/0,1518,793686,00.html</ref> Dem ging die Weiterleitung eines durch den Vorstand der Tognum AG in Auftrag gegebenen Prüfberichtes von [[Ernst & Young]] an die Ermittlungsbehörde voraus. Mittlerweile hat der Tognum-Skandal [[ThyssenKrupp]] erreicht.<ref>http://boersen.manager-magazin.de/mmo/kurse_einzelkurs_news.htm?id=33487214&s=710000&b=9&l=276&n=Daimler</ref>

Inzwischen hat die Tognum AG weitere Konsequenzen gezogen und "eine sofortige umfangreiche und unabhängige Überprüfung des eigenen [[Compliance]]-Systems" und "dessen Effektivität" in Auftrag gegeben.<ref>http://www.tognum.com/presse/pressemitteilungen/presse-detai/news/tognum_takes_initial_decisive_measures_regarding_ongoing_compliance_investigation/news_smode/text/cHash/84be287764abfba77d713b77249cf5df/index.de.html</ref> Der Korruptions-Verdacht ist geeignet, Auswirkungen auf die Korrektheit der zurückliegenden [[Entsprechenserklärung|Entsprechenserklärungen]] <ref>http://investoren.tognum.de/cgi-bin/show.ssp?companyName=tognum&language=German&id=6500</ref> gemäß {{§|161|aktg|juris}} [[Aktiengesetz (Deutschland)|Aktiengesetz]] (AktG) des [[Vorstand|Vorstandes]]/[[Aufsichtsrat|Aufsichtsrats]] für 2010 und früher (bis 2007) zu entfalten. Im [[Übernahmeangebot]] vom 5. April 2011, Seite 10 (Pkt. 3: Zusammenfassung, S. 4-7) und Seite 47f. (Pkt. 13.1.6) hatte die Engine Holding GmbH neben mehreren Voraussetzungen auch den [[Vorbehalt]] "keiner [[Compliance]]-Verletzung" durch Tognum geäußert.<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/engineholding/pdf/Angebotsunterlage_deutsch.pdf</ref> Mit Mitteilung vom 26. August 2011 hatte der Bieter Engine den Eintritt aller Vollzugsbedingungen verkündet.<ref>http://www.engineholding-angebot.de/engineholding/pdf/26_08_10_bekanntmachung.pdf</ref> Der [[Korruption]]sverdacht geht bis in das Jahr 2000 zurück, als die Tognum noch unter dem Namen [[MTU Friedrichshafen]] zur [[Daimler AG]] gehörte, die Anfang 2011 das neu begründete Vorstandsressort ''Integrität und Recht'' mit der ehemaligen Bundesverfassungsrichterin [[Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt]] installiert hat. Mit dieser Maßnahme kam [[Daimler]] wegen eigener [[Korruption]]sfälle einer Auflage US-amerikanischer Behörden, einen eigenen [[Vorstand]] für [[Compliance]] zu installieren, nach.

==== Verhaltensrichtlinie ====
Die Verhaltensstandards des Unternehmens sind u.a. in der [http://www.tognum.com/fileadmin/fm-dam/tognum/sustainability/pdf/Tognum_verhaltensrichtlinie_9_2011.pdf Tognum-Verhaltensrichtlinie] fixiert. Dem 20-seitigen Dokument (Stand Dezember 2010) ist eine Anlage zu Kapitel 12, Einhaltung der Tognum-Verhaltensrichtlinie (Seite 19), beigefügt, auf der die aktuellen Ansprechpartner genannt sind. Im Gegensatz zur [http://www.tognum.com/fileadmin/fm-dam/tognum/sustainability/pdf/verhaltensrichtlinie_stand_dezember_2010.pdf Vorversion] der Anlage mit Stand März 2010 eröffnet die Tognum nunmehr über einen Ombudsmann, einen extern tätigen Rechtsanwalt, ausdrücklich auch nicht im Unternehmen tätigen Personen Hinweise auf Verstöße gegen die Verhaltensrichtlinie und/oder Straftaten. Nach der alten Broschüre standen bislang nur interne Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung. Laut Geschäftsbericht 2009 (Seite 64) hatte die Tognum bereits zuvor erklärt, eine [[Whistleblower]]-Hotline installiert zu haben, bei der auch jeder Dritte Hinweise auf mögliche Gesetz- und Rechtsverstöße geben könne.<ref>http://www.reportinvestor.com/epaper/tognum-ag-geschaeftsbericht-2009-4c7ce005b31b6/page64.html</ref> Die Entdeckung des aktuellen [[Korruption]]sfalles geht nach Erklärung des Unternehmens auf externe Hinweise in 2011 zurück.

'''Big Bad Voodoo Daddy''' is a contemporary [[swing revival]] band from southern [[California]]. Their notable singles include "Go Daddy-O", "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)", and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit". The band played the [[Super Bowl XXXIII]] half-time show in 1999.

The band was originally formed in Ventura, California, in 1989 by leader [[Scotty Morris (musician)|Scotty Morris]]. The band was named Big Bad Voodoo Daddy after Scotty Morris met blues guitar legend [[Albert Collins]] at one of the latter's concerts. "He signed my poster 'To Scotty, the big bad voodoo daddy'," Morris explains. "I thought it was the coolest name I ever heard on one of the coolest musical nights I ever had. So when it came time to name this band, I didn't really have a choice. I felt like it was handed down to me."

He and [[Kurt Sodergren]] are the two "original" members, with the rest of the band joining later. The band has concentrated on the swing of the 1940s and [[1950s|'50s]], playing clubs and lounges in their early years.

== History ==
=== Early career: 1989–1996 ===
The band launched two [[compact disc|CDs]], ''Big Bad Voodoo Daddy'' and ''Watchu' Want for Christmas?'' under their own [[record label|label]] (Big Bad Records) before getting their big break when their songs "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" and "Go Daddy-O" were featured in the 1996 cult comedy ''[[Swingers (1996 film)|Swingers]]''.

=== Commercial success: 1997–2004 ===
From there, they were signed by [[Capitol Records]]. With Capitol, the band released ''Americana Deluxe'', ''This Beautiful Life'', and ''Save My Soul''. The band has continued their tours, performances and album releases. The band had appeared at the 1999 [[Super Bowl]] half-time show and the 2006 [[Capital One Bowl]], and also served as the house band for ESPN's [[ESPY Awards]] for a few years.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} The band created a version of the opening theme for the sitcom ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', which was used for the 1999–2000 season.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}

=== Live performances and return: 2005–present ===
Over the last few years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has played numerous Pops programs of American [[symphony orchestra]]s, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, and Atlanta Symphony just to name a few. They created a new song for the movie ''[[The Wild]]'', and recorded a song for Disney's [[Phineas and Ferb]] Christmas Vacation Special. BBVD also performed on the hit television show Dancing with the Stars, and the tonight show with [[Jay Leno]] to promote their album ''How Big Can You Get?'', a collection of their renditions of [[Cab Calloway]] songs in April 2009.
