DEUTZ AG resolves on a 10% capital increase against cash contributions from authorized capital, with the exclusion of pre-emption rights

 
Cologne, September 14, 2026 – The Board of Management of DEUTZ AG (ISIN DE0006305006) has today, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, resolved to carry out a capital increase against cash contributions – with the exclusion of pre-emption rights – by using part of the existing authorized capital. Hereto, the share capital of DEUTZ AG is to be increased by up to 10%, to up to 167,901,915 no-par-value shares by issuing up to 15,263,810 new no-par-value bearer shares. The new shares will carry full dividend rights for the financial year from January 1, 2026.

Placement of the shares will be initiated immediately after the release of this notification. The new shares will be offered for purchase exclusively to institutional investors in a private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process. The placement price, the final number of shares to be issued,  and the final gross proceeds will be determined and announced by the Board of Management of DEUTZ AG, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, after completion of the process.

The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading in the regulated market of the Frankfurt and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges on September 17, 2026 without a prospectus. Trading in the new shares, which will be included in the existing listing of the Company’s shares, is intended to commence on September 18, 2026. Delivery of the new shares is also expected on September 18, 2026.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the capital increase to optimize its capital structure in order to enhance its financial flexibility for future growth opportunities.

As part of the private placement, DEUTZ will commit to a lock-up period of six months, subject to market standard exemptions including the increase of the share capital against contribution in kind as resolved by the extraordinary general meeting in August 2026.
