Mutares considers the issuance of a new senior secured bond with an issue size of up to EUR 175 million as well as the redemption of its existing EUR 80 million senior secured bond

Munich, 7 June 2022 – The Management Board of Mutares Management SE, the general partner of Mutares SE & Co KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650) (“Mutares“), resolved today to consider the possibility of placing a senior secured corporate bond (“New Bond“) in the amount of up to EUR 175 million (“Transaction“). Mutares has mandated Pareto Securities AS (“Manager“) as advisor and broker for the Transaction and has mandated it for a possible solicitation of institutional investors as well as the holders of its existing senior secured bonds initially issued on 14 February 2020 with a total nominal volume of EUR 80 million due 2024 (ISIN: NO0010872864, WKN: A254QY) (“2020/2024 Bonds“) and to prepare other documentation required for the Transaction together with selected legal advisors.

The net proceeds raised from the issuance of the New Bonds are expected to be utilized for (i) the redemption of the 2020/2024 Bonds, (ii) to finance further corporate acquisitions and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

The bondholders under the 2020/2024 Bonds (“Existing Bondholders“) will be offered to exchange their existing 2020/2024 Bonds for New Bonds issued subject to the terms of the Transaction and, if and to the extent they accept such offer, will instead of the call premium receive a roll-over fee (equal to the call premium) at the issue date of the New Bonds. The Existing Bondholders are recommended to contact the Manager for further information and in case of questions under the following contact details:

As the 2020/2024 Bond, the New Bond shall be included in the regulated unofficial market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In addition, Mutares will apply for admission of the New Bonds to trading on the regulated market (Regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) within six (6) months after issuance of the New Bonds.

The final decision on the Transaction will be made by Mutares depending on market conditions. Mutares will inform the capital market and the public about the progress of the Transaction in accordance with legal requirements.
