The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
On 14 April 2026, EPH Group AG (the “Company”) announced a capital increase pursuant to which its current share capital of EUR 1,000,000 is to be increased to a maximum of EUR 1,142,858 through the issuance of up to 142,858 new no-par-value bearer shares (the “New Shares”), each representing a notional interest in the share capital of EUR 1.00 (the “Capital Increase”). Existing shareholders were initially entitled to exercise their subscription rights from 20 April 2026 to 20 May 2026. Since 21 May 2026, investors in Austria and Germany have had the opportunity to acquire New Shares as part of a public offering. Prior to its originally envisaged expiry on 26 June 2026, the offer period for the public offering was extended until 31 July 2026 at 12:00 noon (CEST).
In light of the currently challenging market environment and the recent decline in the EPH share price, which the Management Board considers not to be justified by the Company’s fundamentals, the Management Board of the Company today resolved to extend the offer period for the public offering in Austria and Germany once again, this time until 30 November 2026 at 12:00 noon (CET). The primary purpose of this further extension is to allow the Company to conclude its ongoing discussions with potential investors.
In addition, the Company plans to issue a further tourism corporate bond with an aggregate principal amount of up to EUR 50 million (the “2026/2033 Notes”). As in the case of the 2025/2032 Notes issued by the Company in 2025 (ISIN: DE000A3L7AM8), the 2026/2033 Notes are intended to be secured by pledges over equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries and other investee companies. The Company also intends to make an exchange offer to the holders of the 2025/2032 Notes and to the holders of the 2023/2030 Notes (ISIN: DE000A3LJCB4), in each case at an exchange ratio of 1:1. Further details of the 2026/2033 Notes remain to be determined. The public offering of the 2026/2033 Notes is subject to the approval of the relevant securities prospectus by the competent supervisory authority. The subscription period and the exchange offer period are expected to commence at the end of September 2026.
