hep global GmbH will shortly publish a revised resolution proposal from SdK Schutzgemeinschaft der Kapitalanleger e.V. (“SdK”) regarding its proposed resolutions for the vote by the holders of its 2021/2026 Green Bond (ISIN: DE000A3H3JV5) from April 12, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. until April 14, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. The modified resolution proposal has already been agreed upon between hep global and the SdK and also takes into account feedback from numerous positive discussions with bondholders. Therefore, the Company recommends that holders of the 2021/2026 Green Bond approve the SdK’s modified resolution proposal.

SdK will propose an increase in the bond’s interest rate from 6.5% to 8.0% unless the company repays the bond in full within 6 months of its original maturity date on May 18, 2026. hep global’s stated goal is to fully redeem the 2021/2026 Green Bond before November 18, 2026.

In addition, hep global has decided to pay a one-time resolution fee of 25 euros to each bondholder of the 2021/2026 Green Bond who validly participates. This is subject to the following conditions: the required quorum has been reached; the necessary approvals from the bondholders regarding the proposed resolution have been obtained; the statutory challenge period pursuant to Section 20 of the German Securities Act (SchVG) has expired without any challenge proceedings being pending or having been legally concluded; and, additionally, the approved amendment to the bond terms has taken effect.

SdK will hold a webinar on April 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., in which hep global will also participate. Prior registration at www.sdk.org/informationsveranstaltung is required to attend.

The SdK’s revised proposed resolution, along with other documents pertaining to the vote without a meeting, will be made available on the company’s website shortly after the revised proposed resolution is received.
