Ludwigsfelde, 16th September 2025, 7:00 am - The Management Board of Planethic Group AG (formerly Veganz Group AG) ("Planethic") (ISIN: DE000A3E5ED2 / WKN: A3E5ED / symbol: VEZ) has decided to acquire 100 percent of the shares in IP Innovation Partners Technology GmbH ('Company'). This Company is a spin-off from IP Innovation Partners GmbH, a long-standing service provider to Planethic.

This acquisition will not only enable Planethic to optimise its costs but also secure all intellectual property (IP) and technological know-how for the design, manufacture and distribution of machines for the 2D production of beverages and foodstuffs (including milk, milk alternatives, juices, soups and sauces).

IP Innovation Partners Technology GmbH will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Planethic Group AG and will operate in parallel with Mililk Food Tech GmbH. The purchase price is €3.0 million and will be paid in the form of 200,000 shares in Planethic Group AG. These shares are not subject to any contractual lock-up period but are to be held by the previous owners for the long term in order to support the strategic development of the company.

The acquisition will bundle the design, patents, production and distribution of the machines in-house, thereby securing existing machine expertise and generating additional value from the sale of machines and the establishment of production lines for future licence partners.

The aim of the acquisition is also to bundle all IP-related matters, in particular the patenting of the technologies used, in one company, thereby strengthening the Group's technological base in the long term.

The name change from Veganz Group AG to Planethic Group AG was entered in the commercial register on 8 September 2025.
