Zug, 11 March 2026 - Multitude AG ("Multitude" or the "Group") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Multitude Capital Oyj, has successfully placed EUR 70 million in subordinated perpetual capital notes, (the "Capital Notes") qualifying as IFRS equity, under a framework of EUR 120 million (ISIN NO0013726893). The issuance is guaranteed by Multitude AG.
The Capital Notes were placed with qualified investors and attracted strong demand from both existing and new institutional investors across Continental Europe, the Nordics and the UK.
The Capital Notes will carry a floating rate coupon of 3 month EURIBOR plus 8.90% and were priced at 96.00% of the nominal amount. The Capital Notes are expected to settle on 23 March 2026. The Capital Notes will be listed on a regulated market within four months and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market within 60 days (with intention to list within 30 days).
The net proceeds will be used to finance the tender offer for Multitude's outstanding EUR 45 million perpetual capital notes with ISIN NO0011037327 (the "Existing Notes"), issued on 5 July 2021, ahead of their interest step-up date on 5 July 2026, as well as for general corporate purposes.
In the Capital Notes issue, holders of the Existing Notes were offered to exchange Existing Notes for Capital Notes (the "Exchange Offer"). Holders of Existing Notes with an aggregate principal nominal amount of approximately EUR 19.2 million decided to participate in the Exchange Offer, which will therefore be subject to exchange for Capital Notes.
As announced on 10 March 2026, Multitude is also offering holders of the Existing Notes the opportunity to tender their notes at a price of 102.00%.
Bernd Egger, Multitude's CFO comments, "This transaction reflects our disciplined capital markets strategy and our commitment to proactively manage our balance sheet. By refinancing ahead of the step-up date, we optimise our capital structure while maintaining flexibility to support the Group's continued growth. The strong investor demand underlines market confidence in Multitude's strategy and financial performance."
