**Final result of the voluntary public tender offer for H&R GmbH & Co. KGaA: H&R Holding GmbH secures 77.54% of the shares**

28 August 2025

-   The settlement of the Offer is expected on 4 September 2025
-   H&R Holding GmbH intends to examine the implementation of a delisting offer or a squeeze-out following the successful completion of the Offer

H&R Holding GmbH (the “Bidder”), a company controlled by Nils Hansen, today announced the final result of the voluntary public tender offer for all outstanding shares in H&R GmbH & Co. KGaA (“H&R KGaA”, ISIN: DE000A2E4T77) (the “Offer”).

By the end of the acceptance period on 25 August 2025 at 24:00 hours (Frankfurt am Main local time) the Offer was accepted for a total of 2,949,150 H&R KGaA shares. This corresponds to approximately 7.92% of H&R KGaA shares. Additionally, the Bidder purchased 2.10% of H&R KGaA shares outside of the Offer via the stock exchange during the acceptance period. 77.54% of all outstanding shares of H&R KGaA are therefore now attributed to the Bidder, including the 61.45% of H&R KGaA shares already attributed to Nils Hansen prior to the transaction and 6.06% of H&R KGaA shares attributed to Wilhelm Scholten. Mr. Scholten will indirectly retain the same stake in H&R KGaA. The shareholders of H&R KGaA are thereby supporting the urgently needed transformation of the company.

On 29 July 2025, the Bidder announced to waive the condition subsequent of not reaching the minimum acceptance threshold of 85%. The Offer is not subject to any further conditions. The settlement of the Offer is expected on 4 September 2025.

Following the successful settlement of the Offer, the Bidder intends to examine the possibility of implementing a delisting offer or a squeeze-out, provided this is economically and operationally prudent at the time. This would aim at supporting the necessary transformation of H&R KGaA’s German refinery sites outside the stock market environment.

**About H&R Holding GmbH and Nils Hansen**

H&R Holding GmbH is a company controlled by Nils Hansen, which was founded to invest in companies.

Nils Hansen is the longstanding controlling shareholder of H&R GmbH & Co. KGaA. In 1973, at the age of 33, he assumed sole responsibility for the long-established Hamburg trading company Hansen & Rosenthal. In the early 1990s, under his leadership, the Salzbergen refinery site was acquired and converted from pure lubricant production to diversified specialty production. In 2001, the site was merged with the WASAG Chemie AG to form H&R WASAG AG. H&R WASAG AG shares were traded on the stock exchange from July 2002. The company was later renamed H&R AG. The acquisition of the refinery site of Ölwerke Schindler GmbH in the Port of Hamburg in 2004 further accelerated the company’s development into one of the leading producers of oil-based specialty products. In 2015/16, the majority of the China business was contributed and the company was transformed into H&R KGaA. Since the merger in 2001, Nils Hansen has been the largest shareholder of today’s H&R KGaA. His two sons, Niels H. Hansen and Sven Hansen, support him in managing and shaping the future of the H&R Group.
