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

 
Cologne, September 8, 2025 – 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 10%, to 152,638,105 no-par-value shares by issuing 13,876,191 new no-par-value bearer shares. The new shares will carry full dividend rights for the financial year from January 1, 2025.

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 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 11, 2025 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 12, 2025. Delivery of the new shares is also expected on September 12, 2025.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the capital increase to finance its recently completed acquisition of SOBEK Group, to allow for flexibility for additional future inorganic growth.

Following the private placement, DEUTZ will be subject to a lock-up period of six months, which includes market standard exemptions.
