N4 GROUP, an integrated French family-owned group and a major player in fitness, sports nutrition, health and wellness, today announces the launch of its initial public offering with a view to the admission of its shares to trading on Euronext Growth^® Paris.

On October 8, 2026, the French Financial Markets Authority (the “AMF”) approved, under number 26-360, the prospectus relating to the transaction, comprising the registration document approved on October 1, 2026, under number I.26-005, and a securities note including the prospectus summary.

N4 GROUP is an integrated French family-owned group, positioned as a major player in the fitness, sports nutrition, health and wellness markets.

Originating with the creation of FitnessBoutique in 1999 in Voiron, the Group designs, develops, formulates and distributes a portfolio of 14 complementary brands covering a broad range of needs, from performance sports nutrition to fitness and health nutrition, as well as cardio and strength training equipment.

N4 GROUP operates an omnichannel model combining e-commerce, the FitnessBoutique network, pharmacies, parapharmacies, specialist retailers and mass retail. The Group also has an integrated industrial platform, N4 Labs, dedicated to R&D, formulation, quality, innovation and the industrialisation of nutrition products.

As of March 31, 2026, N4 GROUP had 161 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) and 115 FitnessBoutique points of sale, and generated revenue of €91.1 million, with an EBIT margin of 17%.

N4 GROUP’s financial targets

By 2027, the Group expects to generate consolidated revenue exceeding €100 million and an EBIT margin of around 20%. By 2029, N4 GROUP targets revenue exceeding €150 million, including 10% generated internationally, and an EBIT margin of around 25%.

Reasons for the Offering: accelerating industrial development and European expansion

The issue of New Shares and the admission of the Company’s Shares to trading on Euronext Growth are intended to (i) enable the Company to raise funds to accelerate the implementation of its growth strategy through the issue of New Shares and (ii) provide partial liquidity to certain existing shareholders through the Secondary Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised through the Offering, amounting to approximately €6.14 million (based on the Offer Price and excluding the proceeds from the sale of shares under the Initial Offering, the Extension Clause and the Over-allotment Option), to finance the following strategic objectives:

• Approximately 70% to strengthen N4 Labs’ industrial capacity, notably through the installation of new production lines at the Voiron site. These investments will support the gradual insourcing of production in the Nutrition division, with the share produced in-house expected to increase from approximately 32% as of March 31, 2026, to approximately 70% within three to five years; and
• Approximately 30% for the Group’s international development, primarily in Belgium, Spain and Italy. This expansion will initially rely on e-commerce and local B2B partnerships, followed by the opening of pilot points of sale and the rollout of franchises or affiliations.

The admission of its shares to trading on Euronext Growth should also enable N4 GROUP to benefit from greater visibility in its markets, a significant factor in industrial and commercial negotiations.

Main terms of the Offering

Structure of the Offering

The Offering will comprise:

• a public offering in France in the form of a fixed price offer, primarily intended for individual investors (the “Fixed Price Offer” or “OPF”);
  • Orders will be divided according to the number of shares requested: an A1 portion (from 1 to 250 shares inclusive) and an A2 portion (above 250 shares);
  • A1 portions will receive preferential treatment over A2 portions if all orders cannot be filled in full;
• a global placement primarily intended for institutional investors, comprising a private placement in France and an international private placement in certain countries, excluding, in particular, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and Japan (the “Global Placement”).

If demand under the OPF permits, the number of shares allocated to orders placed under the OPF will be at least 10% of the number of shares offered in the Initial Offering, before any exercise of the Extension Clause and the Over-allotment Option.

Size of the Offering

The Initial Offering will comprise a maximum of 2,099,957 shares, including:

• 293,994 new shares to be issued through a cash capital increase without shareholders’ preferential subscription rights, representing gross proceeds of €7 million and net proceeds of €6.14 million;
• 1,805,963 existing shares to be sold by Arlette Capital, Mathieu Viscuso and Alexandre Dez, representing gross proceeds of €43 million and net proceeds of €41.6 million.

The Secondary Offering is conditional upon the Primary Offering being subscribed in full. New shares will therefore be allocated in priority to the existing shares initially offered for sale if demand is insufficient and the size of the Offering is reduced.

The proceeds from the issue of new shares will accrue to the Company. The proceeds from the sale of existing shares will accrue exclusively to the selling shareholders.

Based on the Offer Price, the Offering will amount to approximately €50 million, including €7 million from the capital increase (including the share premium), before any exercise of the Extension Clause and the Over-allotment Option.

Extension Clause

Depending on the level of demand, the selling shareholders may, with the Company’s agreement, decide to increase the number of shares sold by up to 15%, representing a maximum of 314,993 additional existing shares, at the Offer Price. Any decision to exercise this clause will be made when the final terms of the Offering are determined, scheduled for October 21, 2026, and its exercise will take priority over that of the Over-allotment Option.

Over-allotment Option

For the purposes of stabilisation activities and to cover any over-allotments, the selling shareholders will grant CIC CIB, acting as stabilisation agent, an option to sell additional existing shares representing up to 15% of the aggregate number of new shares, existing shares initially offered for sale and additional shares sold under the Extension Clause, representing a maximum of 362,242 shares.

This option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the Offer Price, on a single occasion, from the start of trading up to and including November 25, 2026. Its exercise will not generate any additional proceeds for the Company.

Offer Price

The price of shares offered under the Fixed Price Offer will be the same as the price of shares offered under the Global Placement (the “Offer Price”). The Offer Price was set by the Company’s Board of Directors at its meeting on October 7, 2026, at €23.81 per share. The selling shareholders did not participate in the deliberations or vote on the Board resolution setting the Offer Price.
