EPH Group AG finalizes stock market plans – NuWays AG and Müller Partner Rechtsanwälte GmbH appointed as advisors
July 29, 2025
Vienna, July 29, 2025 – In addition to the ad hoc announcement dated July 9, 2025, EPH Group AG is announcing further details regarding the planned listing of its shares on the Vienna MTF of the Vienna Stock Exchange (direct market or direct market plus). As reported, the stock exchange listing is part of a strategic capital market transaction that initially involves a cash capital increase – primarily among the existing shareholders – followed by a capital increase in kind for the acquisition of three additional hotel projects.
Previous financing strategy: Bond issues as a starting point
With the listing of its shares on the stock exchange, EPH is taking the next logical step in its capital market financing strategy, under which two bonds have already been issued. With the planned stock market listing, EPH is pursuing the goal of placing its long-term growth strategy on a broader and more stable financing footing, sustainably increasing its visibility and presence on the capital market, and improving the liquidity and tradability of its shares. In addition, the move is intended to facilitate access to additional sources of capital.
