United Internet AG Joins 1&1 AG Capital Increase

On October 5, 2026, United Internet AG announced its participation in a capital increase at 1&1 AG, set against contributions in kind. The decision was taken by the Management Board of 1&1 AG, with Supervisory Board approval, to raise the share capital by 20% using authorized capital and excluding shareholders' subscription rights.

United Internet AG will contribute a loan receivable of approximately EUR 850 million from its subsidiary, 1&1 Versatel GmbH, in exchange for 35,352,929 new shares of 1&1 AG, priced at EUR 24.05 each. This transaction will bolster United Internet's stake in 1&1 AG to roughly 89.32%, without affecting a previous order to purchase additional shares until June 2027.

The move aims to enhance the financial structure and flexibility of 1&1 AG, simplifying internal financing without additional cash outflows for United Internet AG, further cementing its long-term commitment to 1&1 AG.
