MTU Aero Engines launches a new convertible bond offering and solicits offers from investors to sell the outstanding convertible bonds due 2027 (ISIN DE000A2YPE76)

Munich, 8 January 2026: MTU Aero Engines AG (“MTU” or the “Company”) launches today concurrently the following transactions:

• The offering of senior unsecured convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 600 million, maturing in July 2033 (the "New Convertible Bonds").
• The invitation to holders of MTU’s outstanding senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2027 with an outstanding aggregate nominal amount of EUR 500 million, ISIN DE000A2YPE76 (the "Outstanding Convertible Bonds") to submit offers to sell for cash up to EUR 500 million in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Convertible Bonds at a fixed purchase price (the "Invitation to Sell").

The contemplated transactions aim to optimise the Company's capital structure through the early refinancing of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds and remove the dilution risk associated with the Outstanding Convertible Bonds. The issue of the New Convertible Bonds will enable MTU to extend its debt maturity profile. The proceeds of the New Convertible Bonds will be used to finance the concurrent repurchase of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds in connection with the Invitation to Sell and for general corporate purposes.

New Convertible Bonds

The New Convertible Bonds will have an aggregate principal amount of EUR 600 million and will be convertible into new and/or existing no-par value ordinary registered shares of the Company (the "Shares"). The Company is using an authorisation from its 2021 annual general meeting for the issuance of the New Convertible Bonds. The existing shareholders’ subscription rights (Bezugsrechte) will be excluded.

The New Convertible Bonds will have a maturity of seven years and six months and will be issued at par in a denomination of EUR 100,000 each. The New Convertible Bonds will bear a coupon between 0.125% and 0.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear. The New Convertible Bonds are expected to be repaid at their accreted redemption amount of 105% of the principal amount, implying a yield to maturity of between 0.77% and 1.26%. The initial conversion price will be set at a conversion premium of between 42.5% and 47.5% above the reference share price (being the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Shares on XETRA on 8 January 2026).

The New Convertible Bonds will be offered by way of an accelerated bookbuilding to institutional investors outside the United States of America as well as outside of Australia, Japan, South Africa, Canada and any other jurisdiction in which offers or sales of the Bonds would be prohibited by applicable law.

The final terms of the New Convertible Bonds are expected to be determined and announced through a separate press release later today. Settlement is expected to take place on or around 15 January 2026. The inclusion of the New Convertible Bonds in the open market segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected shortly thereafter.

The Company will have the option to redeem the New Convertible Bonds at the Accreted Redemption Amount plus accrued interest in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Convertible Bonds at any time (i) on or after 29 August 2031 if the parity value of the Shares is equal to or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing Accreted Redemption Amount over a specified period or (ii) if 20% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the New Convertible Bonds originally issued remains outstanding.

In the context of the transaction, the Company will commit to a lock-up of 90 days in respect of the Shares, subject to customary exceptions.

Invitation to Sell

In addition to the proposed offering of the New Convertible Bonds, the Company invites eligible holders of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds to make offers to sell for cash at a fixed purchase price. The Company intends to accept offers to sell up to an amount of EUR 500 million in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds. 

The initial purchase price per EUR 100,000 nominal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds will be 118.30% of the principal amount per Outstanding Convertible Bond tendered under the Invitation to Sell (equal to EUR 118,300 per EUR 100,000 in principal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds), to be delta-adjusted for the difference between today’s VWAP and the closing price of the Shares on XETRA on 7 January 2026 (the “Final Purchase Price”). The Company will pay interest accrued and unpaid on those Outstanding Convertible Bonds accepted for purchase from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds to but excluding the settlement date of the Invitation to Sell, which amounts to EUR 41.64 per Outstanding Convertible Bond.

The Company will have the option to redeem all, but not some only, of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds at the principal amount plus accrued interest, if, at any time, 20% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds originally issued remains outstanding.

The Invitation to Sell is expected to expire at 5:30 p.m. (CET) on 8 January 2026.

The Final Purchase Price and total number of the Outstanding Convertible Bonds that will be repurchased are expected to be announced today after close of trading on XETRA. Settlement of the Invitation to Sell is expected to be on or around 16 January 2026.

The Company will decide in its sole discretion whether, to what extent and at what price it will repurchase Outstanding Convertible Bonds.

The Invitation to Sell is not being made, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States by use of the mails or by any means or instrumentality (including, without limitation, e-mail, facsimile transmission, telephone and the internet) of interstate or foreign commerce, or of any facility of a national securities exchange of the United States and the Invitation to Sell cannot be accepted by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility or from within the United States. The Invitation to Sell is not open to any persons located or resident in the United States or that are otherwise U.S. Persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended), or persons acting for the account or benefit of any such persons, or in any other jurisdiction where the Invitation to Sell or any participation therein would be unlawful.

MIFID II: Solely for the purposes of the EEA manufacturer's product approval process, contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of commission delegated directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the target market assessment in respect of the New Convertible Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the New Convertible Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the New Convertible Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the New Convertible Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Convertible Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual or legal selling restrictions in relation to any offering of the securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any action whatsoever with respect to the New Convertible Bonds.

The New Convertible Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a "retail investor" means (a) in the EEA, a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of article 4(1) of MiFID II, and (b) in the UK, a person who is one (or more) of (i) a retail client within the meaning of Regulation (EU) no 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the UK (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") or the EU PRIIPS Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the New Convertible Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Convertible Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation and/or the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
