Branicks Group AG Invites Offers from Qualified Investors for Bridge Notes

Branicks Group AG has issued an invitation to professional or qualified investors holding its EUR 400,000,000 2.250% Notes, due 2026, to submit offers for new short-term bridge notes. These notes, including Branicks Bridge Notes and VIB Bridge Notes, are part of a wider restructuring plan agreed with VIB Vermögen AG. The notes are issued by Woodpecker Finance S.à r.l. and Woodpecker Finance II S.à r.l., special purpose vehicles created for this purpose.

The total principal amounts are EUR 36,100,000 for Branicks Bridge Notes and EUR 61,900,000 for VIB Bridge Notes, due by 31 December 2026. This initiative aims to transition into long-term tranches and ensure restructuring aligns pari passu with existing promissory and registered notes.

Qualified investors interested in subscribing must adhere to legal requirements and submit offers by 4 September 2026. The comprehensive restructuring was initially announced on 30 July 2026, targeting a streamlined resolution for the company’s financial commitments.
