QIAGEN announces CEO transition plan

Venlo, the Netherlands, November 4, 2025 – QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announces that Thierry Bernard will step down as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director once a successor is appointed.

The Supervisory Board and Thierry Bernard have agreed this is the right time to initiate a leadership transition at QIAGEN. The Supervisory Board, supported by an executive search firm, has initiated a process to identify, evaluate and appoint a successor from both internal and external candidates.

Thierry Bernard, 61, joined QIAGEN in 2015 and has served as CEO since 2019. He will continue in his role until a successor is appointed to ensure a smooth transition and continuity, and he will not stand for re-election as a member of the Managing Board at the Annual General Meeting planned for June 2026.

QIAGEN remains fully focused on executing its strategy, delivering on its 2025 outlook following a solid performance in Q3 2025 and advancing its 2028 ambitions for solid profitable growth. Updates on the CEO search and transition process will be provided as appropriate.

QIAGEN to return approximately \$500 million to shareholders through a synthetic share repurchase

Venlo, the Netherlands, November 4, 2025 – QIAGEN N.V. announces a plan to return up to approximately \$500 million to shareholders through a synthetic share repurchase that combines a direct capital repayment with a reverse stock split.

QIAGEN has decided to implement the maximum \$500 million value of the mandate given at the Annual General Meeting in June 2025, where shareholders gave virtually unanimous approval for the related resolutions. This approach is designed to return cash to shareholders in a more efficient way than through a traditional open-market repurchase program. It would also enhance earnings per share (EPS) through the reduction in outstanding shares. The synthetic share repurchase will become effective on or about January 7, 2026, and will be settled in line with market convention in the subsequent days.

This type of synthetic share repurchase involves the following three general steps:

  • (1) The par value of QIAGEN's common shares (EUR 0.01 per share) will be increased through a transfer from the Share Premium Reserve (included in "Additional Paid-in Capital" on the Company's balance sheet) to allow for the capital repayment to shareholders.
  • (2) A reverse stock split will consolidate shares.
  • (3) The par value will be reduced back to the original level of EUR 0.01 per share and the capital repayment will be paid out directly to shareholders (as of the record date, and where applicable after conversion into U.S. dollars).

Further information on this process will be announced before implementation.
