Munich, April 22, 2026 – Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A2NB650 | WKN A2NB65 | ticker symbol "MUX") ("Mutares" or "Company") successfully completed the capital increase with subscription rights announced on 1 April 2026. A total of 3,193,485 new ordinary registered shares with no par value of the Company ("New Shares") were offered during the subscription period from 8 April 2026 (including) and ended on 21 April 2026 (including) ("Subscription Period") at the Subscription Price of EUR 24.50 per New Share ("Subscription Price") in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subscription offer published in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) ("Subscription Offer"). Together with the 1,076,166 new shares already placed in advance with selected institutional investors as part of a pre-placement, the total number of New Shares amounts to 4,269,651.

3,064,002 New Shares were subscribed under the Subscription Offer (including over-subscription). This corresponds to around 96% of the total of 3,193,485 New Shares offered. The remaining New Shares which have not been subscribed were also sold. After registration of the second tranche of the capital increase with the commercial register (Handelsregister), the share capital of the Company will amount to EUR 25,617,907.00.

The gross issue proceeds from the capital increase amount to approximately EUR 105 million. The majority of the proceeds (approximately 80%) are to be used for further expansion in the U.S. through selected acquisitions, where a dynamically growing pipeline of attractive transactions is available, as well as for pursuing new opportunities throughout Europe. The remaining proceeds (approximately 20%) will be used to strengthen the balance sheet.

Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares: "We would like to thank the existing and new shareholders for their trust and investment in Mutares. The capital increase underscores our commitment to accelerating the ongoing internationalization of our portfolio and to building new platforms with global scale. In North America in particular, we currently see significant potential for value-enhancing transformation investments across attractive industries.”

Cantor acted as sole global coordinator for the transaction and together with Metzler Bank and Stifel as joint bookrunners (together the “Joint Bookrunners”). Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP acted as legal advisor to Mutares.
