3U Holding AG Announces First New Wind Turbine of the Langendorf Repowering Project Goes Online 3U HOLDING AG has been achieved: The first of a total of five new wind turbines has been successfully connected to the grid and is now feeding in environmentally compatible electricity. The Group's upgrading project is therefore running true to schedule while sending a strong signal for the region's energy transition. The repowering project involves replacing seven old turbines by five Vesta turbines with a hub height of 169 metres and a rotor diameter of 162 metres. Each turbine has a nominal capacity of 6.2 megawatts, which will raise the wind farm's overall output from 22.5 megawatts to 43 megawatts. The power production anticipated will increase even more significantly, providing around 30,000 households with green electricity. Moreover, the wind farm will also save more than 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year. Construction work in Langendorf commenced at the start of the year, with completion and full commissioning of the facilities planned by February 2026. With an investment volume of around EUR 70 million, the project is the heartpiece of 3U HOLDING AG's strategic capacity expansion. These upgrading measures will ramp up the combined output of all the Group's wind farms and of the solar park in Adelebsen from originally 53 megawatts to more than 73 megawatts.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.0% This is considered a minor risk.

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.
