Vonovia announces EUR 750 million convertible bond offering

Bochum, 23 June 2026 – The management board of Vonovia SE ("Vonovia", or the "Company"), with consent of the supervisory board, today resolved to launch an offering of senior, unsecured convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 750 million (the "Bonds"). The Bonds will fall due on 30 June 2031 and will be convertible into new and/or existing no-par-value ordinary registered shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") or may be repaid in cash. The pre-emptive rights (Bezugsrechte) of the Company's existing shareholders to subscribe for the Bonds are excluded.

The Bonds will be offered by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process exclusively to institutional investors in certain jurisdictions outside the United States of America ("United States") in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended via a private placement (the "Offering").

The Bonds will have a denomination of EUR 100,000 each and will be issued by the Company at 100% of their principal amount.

The Bonds will bear no periodic interest and have a conversion premium between 35.0% and 40.0% above the reference share price. Unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled in accordance with their terms and conditions, the Bonds will be redeemed at maturity on 30 June 2031 at their accreted redemption amount (principal amount plus a redemption premium), which will be set between 108.43% and 111.15% of the principal amount of the Bonds, implying a yield to maturity between 1.625% and 2.125% per annum in case of no conversion. The terms of the Bonds are expected to contain customary provisions which will allow the Company to satisfy conversion rights on the Bonds with a combination of cash and Ordinary Shares, or cash or Ordinary Shares only, at the option of the Company.

The Company may redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds outstanding at their accreted redemption amount at any time (i) on or after 24 August 2029 if the value of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Bonds is equal to or exceeds 130% of their then prevailing accreted redemption amount over a certain period, or (ii) if less than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds originally issued remains outstanding.

The reference share price will be set as the volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Share on XETRA between launch and pricing of the Offering.

The final terms of the Bonds are expected to be announced later today through a separate ad-hoc announcement. The settlement of the Bonds is expected to take place on or around 30 June 2026 (the "Issue Date"). Following the settlement of the Bonds, the Company intends to arrange for the Bonds to be included to trading on the Open Market segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes including debt refinancing.

As part of the Offering, the Company has agreed to a lock-up period ending 90 calendar days after the Issue Date, subject to customary exemptions and waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators.

This announcement and the offer when made, in member states of the EEA (each a "Member State") and the United Kingdom ("UK") are only addressed to and directed at persons who are "qualified investors" as defined in the Prospectus Regulation or the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 ("POATRs") ("Qualified Investors"). Each person in a Member State or in the UK who initially acquires any Bonds or to whom any offer of Bonds may be made and, to the extent applicable, any funds on behalf of which such person is acquiring the Bonds that are located in a Member State or in the UK will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a Qualified Investor.

In addition, in the UK, this announcement is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Order"), (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49(2) of the Order and (iii) persons at or to whom it can otherwise lawfully be distributed or directed (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). The securities are only available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such securities will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this notification or any of its contents.

MIFID II: Solely for the purposes of the EEA manufacturer's product approval process, contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of commission delegated directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual or legal selling restrictions in relation to any offering of the securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any action whatsoever with respect to the Bonds.

UK MIFIR: Solely for the purposes of the UK manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual or legal selling restrictions in relation to any offering of the securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of UK MiFIR; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any action whatsoever with respect to the Bonds.

The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means (a) a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is not a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"). Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

No action has been taken that would permit an offering or an acquisition of, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, the securities or a distribution of this announcement in any jurisdiction where such action would be unlawful. Persons into whose possession this announcement comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

This announcement does not constitute a recommendation or advice concerning the placement of, or invitation to submit any offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, any securities. Investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the placement of, or invitation to submit any offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, any securities for the person concerned.
