Mutares considers issuing a new senior secured bond with a targeted volume of EUR 100 million

Munich, 2 September 2024 – The Management Board of Mutares Management SE, the general partner of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650) ("Mutares") has decided today, with the approval of the Supervisory Board of Mutares Management SE, to consider the issuance of a new senior secured floating rate corporate bond with a targeted volume of EUR 100 million ("New Bond"). Arctic Securities AS and Pareto Securities AS ("Managers") have been mandated to arrange a series of meetings with potential investors commencing 3 September 2024.

The New Bond would have a term of five years and would be governed by Norwegian law. The minimum subscription and allocation amount would in any case be EUR 100,000.00. The net proceeds from the potential New Bond issue will be used for general corporate purposes of the Mutares group, including working capital and acquisitions. Mutares may also consider to offer a conditional buy-back of the existing bond (ISIN NO0012530965) ("Existing Bond"), subject to the subscription in the New Bond.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Bond, the bondholders of the Existing Bond ("Existing Bondholders") are to be granted a right of first refusal. Thereafter, they may subscribe for a proportionate share of the New Bond corresponding to their share in the Existing Bond. For further information on the New Bond issue, the Existing Bondholders' right of first refusal and the relevant application procedure, please contact the Managers.
