An upscale boutique design hotel is planned on a site of approximately 4,500 square metres overlooking Lake Tegernsee. The building permit for the project has now been granted. The final purchase agreement is expected to be signed shortly, with construction to commence thereafter. Proceeds from the new EUR 50 million secured bond are also intended to be used to finance the project.

Vienna, 27 October 2026. EPH Group AG, headquartered in Vienna, has reached another important milestone in one of its hotel development projects in Germany: The building permit for an exclusive boutique hotel at Lake Tegernsee in Bavaria has now been granted. The approximately 4,500-square-metre site is situated in an elevated location offering panoramic views of Lake Tegernsee. The project envisages a PREMIUM , design-oriented resort catering primarily to discerning guests who value individuality, tranquility and an exceptional location. The hotel is expected to be operated by an internationally established hotel operator.

On 26 February 2026, EPH Group AG had already reached an agreement in principle with the seller regarding the acquisition of the hotel project through a term sheet. This agreement was subject, among other things, to the condition precedent of obtaining a building permit for the final hotel project. With the permit now granted, this key condition has been fulfilled. The final purchase agreement is expected to be signed shortly, followed by the immediate commencement of project implementation.

The boutique hotel is intended to be financed, in part, through proceeds from the new secured corporate bond 2026/2033 (ISIN: AT0000A3XVE4). The bond has a Total Fina Elf issue volume of up to EUR 50 million, a term of seven years and offers an annual interest rate of 10 per cent. Interest payments are distributed to investors monthly. The bond is secured by pledges over shares in subsidiaries and affiliated companies of EPH Group AG. These include shares in the project company that will become the owner of the hotel project at Lake Tegernsee.

The subscription period is scheduled to run from 28 October to 25 November 2026. Trading in the corporates prime segment of the Vienna MTF of the Vienna Stock Exchange is expected to commence on 1 December 2026.
