INTERSHOP Communications AG successfully places all shares from the capital increase with subscription rights

• Placement of 4,374,684 new shares
• Gross proceeds of around EUR 4.4 million
• Proceeds aimed at continued strategic development of the cloud business with focus on AI initiatives

Jena, 26  September 2025 – INTERSHOP Communications AG (ISIN: DE000A254211), a global provider of B2B commerce solutions for the upper mid-market in the manufacturing and wholesale sectors, has successfully completed the cash capital increase with subscription rights that was resolved and announced at the beginning of September 2025, placing a total of 4,374,684 new shares. Of these new shares, 3,153,868 were subscribed by existing shareholders through the exercise of their subscription rights, reflecting a subscription rate of around 72%. The remaining shares were subscribed by selected investors in a private placement, namely with three of the company’s anchor shareholders: Shareholder Value Beteiligungen AG, Sachs Assets GmbH and Value Focus Beteiligungs GmbH, as well as with two other long-standing shareholders. These anchor shareholders had previously agreed, under a backstop agreement, to exercise their subscription rights and acquire any remaining shares from the private placement.

Intershop will receive gross proceeds of around EUR 4.4 million from the capital increase. As previously announced, the proceeds will be used for the continued strategic development of the cloud business, with a particular focus on initiatives in artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, the corporate structure and processes will be optimized.

“The successful capital increase provides Intershop with additional financial resources for the strategic expansion of its cloud business,” says Markus Dränert, CEO of Intershop. “The newly gained scope for action will specifically support us in stepping up the implementation of our AI initiatives and will sustainably strengthen Intershop’s positioning in this area.”

Following entry of the capital increase in the commercial register, share capital will rise from EUR 14,582,291 to EUR 18,956,975. Once the entry in the commercial register is complete, the new shares will be delivered under the same ISIN as the existing shares (ISIN: DE000A254211) and included in the current listing. This is expected to take place during calendar week 43 in 2025. The capital increase was managed by mwb fairtrade Wertpapierhandelsbank AG as subscription agent.
