Dusseldorf/Milan, 03 March 2026 – Katjes International, the brand holding of the
Katjes Group, today signed an agreement, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Katjes Quiet Luxury, to acquire approximately 27% of the shares in Missoni
S.p.A. (“Missoni”). The remaining shares will going forward be held by the
Italian growth equity firm FSI, which is currently a minority shareholder and,
in the course of the transaction, will fully acquire the shares held by the
Missoni family. Katjes International has additionally agreed market standard
drag along by FSI and tag along rights followed by a call option on FSI’s shares
with the potential to become the majority shareholder.

Following the majority acquisition of Bogner, Katjes Quiet Luxury continues its
growth path and strengthens its portfolio with another iconic European consumer
brand. The closing of the transaction is subject to approval by the relevant
antitrust authorities and is expected in the second quarter of 2026.

Missoni is a globally renowned Italian luxury brand with a strong heritage and
is regarded as an icon of high-quality fashion and homeware, distinguished by
its characteristic zigzag design. The brand is firmly established in the
international luxury segment for swimwear, ready-to-wear, and lifestyle
products.

“The combination of strong heritage, distinctive design, and international
reputation make the company a true icon in the European luxury segment,” said
Tobias Bachmüller, Managing Shareholder of Katjes International.

The purchase price will be financed predominantly from own funds. In addition,
the corporate bond (WKN: A30V78 / ISIN: NO0012888769) has been increased by a
further €15 million to a total volume of €200 million. Katjes International
expects revenues and earnings for the financial year 2025 to be significantly
above the published guidance. The preparation and audit process of the 2025
consolidated financial statements is currently ongoing.
