BayWa AG launches second tranche of capital increase

Munich, 24 October 2025 – With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management of BayWa AG decided on 23 October to implement the second tranche of the capital increase, thereby continuing to implement its restructuring plan. In the first tranche of the capital increase, which has already been implemented, the major shareholders Bayerische Raiffeisen-Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft (BRB) and Raiffeisen Agrar Invest AG (RAI) subscribed for new shares worth around EUR 125 million.

The subscription price is EUR 2.79 per new share, and the subscription ratio is 1 to 2, i.e. one existing share entitles the holder to subscribe for two new shares each. BayWa shareholders, with the exception of the anchor shareholders BRB and RAI, can subscribe for up to 27,368,508 new shares. A further 92,070 new shares that were not subscribed for in the first tranche of the capital increase will be offered to the major shareholders. The anchor shareholders have entered into a commitment for the second tranche of the capital increase to enable BayWa AG to generate minimum proceeds in the second tranche of the capital increase of EUR 25 million. Therefore, the total gross proceeds, including the already implemented EUR 125 million, wil amount between EUR 150 million and EUR 201.6 million. The required securities prospectus was approved by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) on 24 October 2025. Statutory subscription rights will be granted via Baader Bank Aktiengesellschaft. The subscription period begins on 28 October and ends at the close of business on 10 November 2025. The subscription rights can be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from 28 October up to and including 5 November 2025. The capital increase is expected to be fully completed in mid-November.

There will be no compensation for any subscription rights not exercised. New shares for which no subscription rights have been exercised during the subscription period may be offered to selected qualified investors in an international private placement or sold in the market following the end of the subscription period, in each case at a price at least equal to the subscription price.

The capital increase is based on BayWa AG's StaRUG plan, which has been confirmed by the restructuring court, and provides for the issue of up to 72,263,446 new shares in total. The securities prospectus is available on the BayWa AG website www.baywa.com under "Capital Increase 2025".
