Heidelberg, June 21, 2024 - The Management Board of H2 Core AG ("H2 Core", ISIN: DE000A0H1GY2) has resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, as previously announced (see ad hoc announcement dated December 4, 2023), to increase the share capital against cash contributions with subscription rights for existing shareholders. Based on the authorization of the Annual General Meeting of the company (MARNA Beteiligungen AG) on 28 February 2024, the company's share capital is to be increased against cash contributions by up to EUR 1,500,500 to up to EUR 13,001,000 by issuing up to 1,500,500 new no-par value bearer shares with a notional interest in the share capital of EUR 1.00 per share. The new shares will carry dividend rights from January 1, 2023. The new shares are to be acquired by mwb fairtrade Wertpapierhandelsbank AG, Gräfelfing, with the obligation to offer them to shareholders at a ratio of 1:1, i.e. one existing share (ISIN: DE000A0H1GY2) entitles the holder to subscribe to one new share. The subscription price is EUR 2.20 per share. The shares from the previous payment in kind capital increase are excluded from the cash capital increase. The issue proceeds are to be used for further growth and expansion of the product range.

Shareholders of H2 Core will be granted an oversubscription option for new shares. No subscription rights trading is planned. The subscription period for the new shares begins on June 26, 2024 and ends on July 10, 2024 at midnight. New shares that have not been subscribed for by the end of the subscription offer are to be offered to institutional investors as part of a subsequent private placement. After the capital increase, the new shares are to be included in existing trading on the regulated market of the Hanseatic Stock Exchange in Hamburg. The rights offering will be made without a prospectus in accordance with Section 3 No. 1 of the German Securities Prospectus Act.

H2 Core AG is being supported in this capital increase by mwb fairtrade Wertpapierhandelsbank AG, Gräfelfing.
