mutares AG plans strategic repositioning in the capital market

Following the company’s strong growth in recent years, mutares AG intends to realign its capital market strategy. As part of this, mutares AG is considering a change to the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and to broaden its free float.

mutares AG has experienced significant growth in recent years, following a number of high-profile acquisitions, in particular the acquisition of Pixmania SAS. Considering this strong development, mutares AG has become increasingly interesting for the capital market. In order to take advantage of its existing capital market quotation to further support the company’s ambitious development, mutares AG is currently considering a repositioning in the capital market.

As a first step, mutares AG is planning to apply for the change to the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, to fulfil all higher transparency requirements, and to broaden the free float. At the same time, it is planning to establish an active and sustainable capital market communication. In this context, Hauck & Aufhäuser will shortly commence the Research Coverage.

mutares AG, Munich (www.mutares.de), acquires companies in whole and in part, which are sold as a result of a repositioning process at their owners and which exhibit a clear operational improvement potential. Getting engaged with its own teams, mutares actively supports its portfolio companies to generate a significant value increase. The focus of the operational work is to ensure sustainable, long-term growth.

The stocks of mutares AG are listed at the Open Market segment of the Berlin Stock Exchange (symbol: MUX, ISIN: DE000A0SMSH2).
