Energy storage provider INTILION postpones planned IPO

Paderborn, 10 July 2023 – The energy storage provider INTILION Aktiengesellschaft ("INTILION" or the "Company") has decided together with its sole shareholder HOPPECKE Rail Systems GmbH (a subsidiary of Accumulatorenwerke Hoppecke Carl Zoellner & Sohn GmbH) not to pursue the planned IPO at the present time. INTILION has received very positive feedback from investors on its positioning, growth strategy and management. However, INTILION and HOPPECKE have come to the view that an appropriate valuation of the Company cannot be achieved in the current capital markets environment. Depending on the capital market environment, preparations for the IPO of the Company will be resumed at a later date. In the meantime, INTILION and HOPPECKE intend to continue the dynamic growth of the Company.
