Planethic Group AG: Planethic Group Advances Transformation and Seeks Bondholder Approval for Targeted Amendments

Ludwigsfelde (pta037/27.03.2026/21:00 UTC+1)

Ludwigsfelde, March 27th, 2026 - Planethic Group AG (formerly Veganz Group AG) ("Company" or "Planethic") (ISIN: DE000A3E5ED2 / symbol: VEZ) invites the holders of its outstanding EUR 10 million 7.5% bonds 2020/2030 (ISIN: DE000A254NF5) to participate in a written vote without a meeting in accordance with Section 18 of the German Bondholders' Act (SchVG).

The purpose of the vote is to approve proposed amendments to the bond terms, which are designed to support the ongoing operational transformation into a technology-driven food-tech holding company while ensuring the long-term serviceability of the bond and providing a stable and predictable repayment of the debt.

Strong Operational Progress and International Scaling

Planethic is consistently implementing its transformation from a trading company into an integrated food-tech and manufacturing company.

The progress of this transformation is already evident in tangible operational successes. For instance, the production facility in Ludwigsfelde has been successfully commissioned, strategic partnerships for international expansion have been established, and significant contracts have been concluded in the U.S. market.

For the Mililk® products, binding production and purchase agreements have been signed with a well-known U.S. market participant, that is also providing the production infrastructure. The agreements include a guaranteed minimum purchase of goods valued at USD 60 million over 24 months, of which USD 10 million will be realized in the first year and USD 50 million in the second year.

These contractually secured volumes form a central foundation for the expected scaling of operating revenues and the gradual generation of sustainable, positive cash flows. Based on this secured sales structure, these cash flows are expected to contribute significantly to the future scheduled servicing of financial liabilities.

With its expansion into North America, Planethic is thereby tapping into a key growth driver and laying the groundwork for a significant improvement in earnings quality as capacity utilization increases.

Proposed Amendments to Support Growth Execution

Against the backdrop of the current investment phase and the already commercially validated growth prospects, the company proposes measures specifically aimed at optimizing liquidity allocation:

- Deferral of interest payments for 2025 and 2026 until maturity

- Postponement of the scheduled 2026 partial repayment, with repayments resuming in 2027

These measures will allow the Company to invest available funds primarily in scaling already secured and revenue-generating activities, thereby further strengthening the foundation for the sustainable and full servicing of the bond.

The temporary adjustment to the payment structure reflects the increased capital requirements of the scaling phase, while at the same time revenue and sales potential is already contractually secured.

The proposed measures are in line with the bond extension successfully implemented at the end of 2024, which is associated with substantial additional remuneration components in favor of the bondholders. Against this backdrop, the Company views the current adjustment as a continuation of a balanced and long-term approach to ensuring the bond's repayment capacity.

Outlook: Normalized Debt Service from 2027

Based on the contractually secured sales volumes and predictable business development, the Company expects to generate sufficient liquidity again starting in 2027 to make interest and principal payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

This lays the foundation for a stable long-term financial structure and the full servicing of the bond.

Voting Details

Voting will take place from 12:00 a.m. (CET) on April 20, 2026, to 11:59 p.m. (CET) on April 22, 2026, without a physical meeting and will be supervised by a notary. A qualified majority of at least 75 percent of the votes cast is required for the resolution to pass.

Strategic Positioning

The proposed amendments are a logical step toward continuing Planethic's operational transformation in an orderly manner and simultaneously serving the objective of appropriately safeguarding bondholders' interests, particularly with regard to long-term repayment capacity.

With a clearly scalable, technology-driven business model in the plant-based food sector, the company is positioning itself for sustainable and profitable growth in a rapidly expanding market.

Implementation will depend largely on the successful achievement of production and sales volumes.

Further information and the voting documents will be made available shortly through the usual publication channels, in particular in the Federal Gazette and in the Investor Relations section of the company's website.
