OHB Plans €1 Billion Share Sale to Expand Free Float and Improve Stock Liquidity OHB is preparing a share sale of more than €1b as part of a “re-IPO” aimed at raising fresh capital and increasing its free float.
The company is working with several banks, including Berenberg, Commerzbank, UniCredit, Deutsche Bank and Jefferies Financial Group, to structure and place the offer.
By expanding the free float, OHB is targeting improved liquidity in its stock and a better chance of qualifying for major stock market indices.
A re-IPO of this size could change how easily you can trade OHB shares, with a larger pool of stock available and potentially tighter bid-ask spreads over time.
The key questions for investors are the eventual valuation of the new shares, any dilution impact relative to current holdings, and how effectively OHB plans to deploy the additional capital. Announcement • May 02

OHB Still Plans to Delist from the Stock Exchange OHB SE (‘OHB’) announced that the takeover offer (‘offer’) by KKR & Co. Inc. (KKR) will be completed now that all offer conditions have been met. All regulatory approvals have been granted. As the next step, KKR will pay the offer consideration in accordance with the terms of the offer document by no later than September 9, 2024. Together with KKR as a minority investor, OHB will continue to implement its growth strategy systematically. The demand for privately funded, cost-efficient, and flexible space solutions is steadily increasing. OHB aims to meet this demand and become the leading full-service provider of space solutions for institutional and commercial customers in Europe. KKR will hold approximately 28.6 % of the company's shares after completion. The Fuchs family has not sold any shares as part of the transaction and continues to hold around 65.4 % of the shares. OHB thus remains an independent German family business, with Marco Fuchs in the role of CEO and the existing management team in place. The remaining approximately 6 % of the shares are in free float. ‘In KKR, we have found the ideal minority investor who supports our long-term growth and with whom we can successfully implement our corporate strategy. We are pleased that the offer is now also being completed. It allows our previous shareholders to benefit from the long-term value increase of OHB and at the same time paves the way for our delisting,’ says Marco Fuchs, CEO of OHB. ‘OHB is the only large space company from Germany that is also at the forefront of European competition. KKR supports the goal of developing OHB into a European Space Champion and making an important contribution to Europe's sovereignty in space,’ says Christian Ollig, Partner and Head of the DACH region at KKR. OHB continues to plan its delisting to facilitate the implementation of its long-term growth strategy as a privately held company. Announcement • Apr 19

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.7x net interest cover).
