Katjes International successfully taps its corporate bond by EUR 70 million

• Tap of EUR 70 million based on significant oversubscription
• Issue price well above 100%
• Strong demand from a broad base of national and international investors

Düsseldorf, 05 August 2025 – Katjes International GmbH & Co. KG (“Katjes
International”) today successfully increased its corporate bond 2023/2028 (WKN:
A30V78 / ISIN: NO0012888769) by
EUR 70 million through a private placement, bringing the total outstanding
volume to EUR 185 million. Driven by strong demand, the issue volume was set at
EUR 70 million at a price well above 100%.

The net proceeds will primarily be used to finance the acquisition of a 60%
stake in Willy Bogner GmbH. The transaction was supported by a broad base of
national and international institutional investors.

“Strong investor feedback and the swift placement reflect the high level of
confidence in our strategy and its consistent continuation with the acquisition
of Bogner,” said Tobias Bachmüller, Managing Shareholder of Katjes
International.

The tap tranche will temporarily be listed under a separate ISIN (NO0013627927)
and will be consolidated with the existing bond (NO0012888769) upon the closing
of the Bogner transaction, which is expected in the first half of September.

ABG Sundal Collier AS was Sole Bookrunner on the transaction.
