DEAG: Corporate Bond 2025/2029 with a volume of EUR 75 million successfully placed in full – issue significantly oversubscribed

• Interest rate of the new bond at 7.75%
• Use of the funds: refinancing of the 2023/2026 Corporate Bond, acceleration of organic and inorganic growth, reduction of minority interests in investments

Berlin, 8 October 2025 – DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (“DEAG”) has successfully completed the placement of its 2025/2029 Corporate Bond (ISIN NO0013639112) with an issue volume of EUR 75 million. Due to very strong demand from institutional and private investors, the bond was significantly oversubscribed. The annual fixed interest rate was set at 7.75% as part of the bookbuilding process. The positive response from investors, both in terms of exchange and new subscriptions, underpins the capital market's confidence in DEAG's growth strategy. The company will use the proceeds from the issue to refinance the 2023/2026 Corporate Bond and considers itself well positioned to continue its organic and inorganic growth course. DEAG will also use the proceeds from the issue to reduce minority interests in its investments.

DEAG's bond offer consisted of an exchange offer including a multiple purchase option to the holders of the 2023/2026 Corporate Bond (ISIN NO0012487596), a public offer via Deutsche Börse's DirectPlace subscription functionality and a private placement. The volume tendered for exchange amounts to approximately 40% of the outstanding bond and will be allocated in full.

DEAG plans to intensify its successful Buy & Build strategy in the second half of 2025. The company recently expanded its business activities in the open-air events sector in line with its strategy and acquired a majority stake in the ROCKHARZ Festival in Ballenstedt. With over 25,000 visitors annually, the Rock & Metal Festival is the largest festival of its kind in Eastern Germany and one of the largest in Germany. In addition, DEAG will be staging a number of concerts and tours featuring top-class artists such as Simply Red, Hans Zimmer and Böhse Onkelz, as well as hundreds of Spoken Word & Literary Events and Family Entertainment events in the course of the year. For the full year 2025, DEAG expects to see a significant improvement in EBITDA compared to the previous year, with revenue continuing to rise moderately.

“We are very satisfied with the result of the placement. Demand from both domestic and international investors was equally high. Our clear growth strategy and DEAG's good prospects convinced investors. We can use the proceeds from the issue to refinance our 2023/2026 Corporate Bond and drive our growth forward as planned. We are very optimistic about our further business development in the years ahead,” commented Detlef Kornett, Group CEO of DEAG.

“We would like to thank our investors for their confidence in our company and our growth strategy. The high demand for our bond clearly shows that we have assembled an attractive investment package for investors and further confirms our good access to the capital market,” said David Reinecke, CFO of DEAG.

All subscription orders submitted via DirectPlace as part of the public offering were allocated in full up to a volume of EUR 5,000 per order; for order volumes above this amount 50% of the volume have been allocated by rounding to whole bonds.

The bond issue was accompanied by Pareto Securities AS, Frankfurt Branch, as Global Coordinator and Joint Manager, and B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. Aktiengesellschaft as Joint Manager.

The inclusion of the 2025/2029 Corporate Bond in trading on the Open Market (over-the-counter) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Quotation Board) is planned for 16 October 2025. Trading is scheduled to commence on 9 October 2025. Within six months of the issue date, an application will also be made for inclusion in trading on Euronext ABM of the Oslo Stock Exchange.
