Veganz Group: Annual General Meeting Approves Spin-off of Subsidiaries to Take on Strategic Investors

Realignment Strengthens Growth Trajectory and Shareholder Value

Ludwigsfelde, August 13th, 2025 - The Annual General Meeting of Veganz Group AG (WKN: A3E5ED / symbol: VEZ), a leading innovator in plant-based food technologies, today approved all of the management's proposed resolutions by a large majority. Approximately 57.6 percent of the share capital was represented.

Strategic realignment and spin-off of subsidiaries

Shareholders approved the spin-off of the Mililk®, Happy Cheeze, Peas on Earth, and Veganz divisions into separate subsidiaries. The new structure creates the basis for a clear focus as an innovative technology investment holding company and supports further international growth.

Veganz Group AG, which will be renamed Planethic Group AG, will remain the majority owner of all subsidiaries. In the new holding structure, the group will also be able to invest in and incubate innovative food solutions for a healthy planet.

Following the sale of OrbiFarm GmbH, the AGM has now also paved the way for investors to enter Mililk Food Tech GmbH. Thanks to the planned capital injection by strategic investors, the high international demand for Mililk® technology can be converted into profitable sales more quickly by establishing production sites around the world.

Capital market and financial measures

To strengthen the company's attractiveness on the capital market, the shareholders resolved, among other things, to create an Authorised Capital 2025/I and Contingent Capital 2025/I, as well as a forward split at a ratio of 1:4. In addition, they authorised the Management Board to implement a share buyback programme of up to 10 per cent of the share capital and approved the option of early redemption of the corporate bond (WKN: A254NF).

Executive Board and Supervisory Board discharged

The members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board were discharged by the Annual General Meeting for the 2024 financial year. ETL AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft from Berlin was appointed as auditor for the 2025 financial year.

Jan Bredack, CEO and founder of Veganz, said: "With the measures decided today, we are laying the foundation for accelerated growth. The new holding structure and capital measures increase our strategic flexibility, improve the liquidity of our shares, and open up significant value enhancement potential for our shareholders."

The detailed voting results are available in the Investor Relations section of the company's website.
