• Public share buyback offer with an announced volume of approximately EUR 208 million fully utilized
• NORMA Group acquires 9,306,113 treasury shares, corresponding to approximately 29.21 percent of the current share capital
• Shares acquired will be cancelled in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting

Maintal, September 18, 2026 – NORMA Group SE has successfully completed its second public share buyback offer. The offer made to shareholders related to the repurchase of up to 9,306,487 NORMA Group SE shares at an Offer Price of EUR 22.35 per share, resulting in a maximum total offer volume of approximately EUR 208 million. By the end of the acceptance period on September 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CEST, a total of 19,558,706 shares had been validly tendered to the company. The public share buyback offer thus attracted strong demand from shareholders and was significantly oversubscribed.

By exercising the corresponding number of tender rights, a total of 8,675,388 shares were validly tendered to the company by the end of the acceptance period. Accordingly, a total of 631,099 shares remained available for repurchase as part of the residual allocation provided for under the terms of the offer document, for which no tender rights were required. As part of the residual allocation, shareholders validly tendered a further 10,883,318 shares. The residual allocation was therefore approximately 17 times oversubscribed. As the number of additional shares tendered exceeded the number of shares still available for repurchase by the company, the corresponding declarations of acceptance will be allocated proportionally. The allocation ratio for the residual allocation is 0.057987739. In total, NORMA Group SE will therefore acquire 9,306,113 treasury shares. This corresponds to approximately 29.21 percent of the current share capital (32.45 percent of the outstanding shares excluding treasury shares). The total purchase price amounts to approximately EUR 208 million.

The purchase price for the tendered and allocated shares is expected to be paid by September 24, 2026, against the simultaneous debit of the tendered and allocated shares from the respective securities accounts of NORMA Group SE shareholders. Shares that could not be included in the allocation as part of the residual allocation will be booked back to the original ISIN DE000A1H8BV3.

The shares acquired as part of the offer will be cancelled upon completion of the transaction in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of July 1, 2026. As a result, the company’s share capital will be reduced by the pro rata amount attributable to the shares cancelled. This will increase the proportionate interest of the remaining shares in the company’s future earnings.

CEO Birgit Seeger: “With the second share buyback offer now concluded, we have successfully completed the announced capital return of approximately EUR 260 million to our shareholders from the divestment of our Water Management business. In doing so, we have enabled our shareholders to participate directly in the success of this transaction while combining financial strength with clear strategic discipline. This step provides additional clarity for the next phase of our transformation: We are consistently aligning NORMA Group for profitable growth, operational excellence and value-oriented capital allocation. Our goal is to further develop NewNORMA into a focused, high-performing Industrial Powerhouse for connecting technology. At our Strategy Update on October 19, 2026, we will set out how we intend to translate our strategic priorities into measurable progress, the mid-term targets we are pursuing and the principles that will guide our future capital allocation to create sustainable value for our shareholders.”
