PATRIZIA SE, the Augsburg-based real assets investment manager with EUR 55 billion in assets under management, has entered into an Investment and Downlisting Agreement with its major shareholder First Capital Partner GmbH (FCP) on 12 November 2026. Under the agreement, FCP plans a public partial offer at EUR 8.20 per PATRIZIA share, seeking to raise its stake from 58.89% to up to 73%. The company also intends to transfer its listing from Deutsche Börse's regulated market to the Scale segment and cancel 4,700,000 treasury shares. Investors will be watching closely given the structural implications for free float, earnings per share, and PATRIZIA's regulatory obligations.

FCP Partial Offer at EUR 8.20 Targets Stake Increase of Up to 14.11 Percentage Points

Under the Investment and Downlisting Agreement, FCP has announced its intention to make a public acquisition offer in the form of a partial offer to PATRIZIA shareholders at a cash consideration of EUR 8.20 per share. FCP currently holds approximately 58.89% of PATRIZIA's share capital and intends to acquire an aggregate shareholding of up to 73%, representing an increase of up to approximately 14.11 percentage points. The offer will not be subject to a minimum acceptance threshold and does not constitute a delisting offer within the meaning of Section 39 (2) no. 1 of the German Stock Exchange Act. The Offer Document remains subject to approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

PATRIZIA to Transfer Listing to Deutsche Börse's Scale Segment by January 2027

Alongside the partial offer, PATRIZIA has committed to initiating a transfer from the regulated market to Deutsche Börse's Scale segment — the exchange's dedicated segment for small and medium-sized enterprises — without undue delay during the acceptance period. The company expects this downlisting to be completed no later than January 2027. Management stated that the Scale segment better reflects PATRIZIA's current market capitalisation, evolving ownership structure, and long-term business model. PATRIZIA will continue reporting under IFRS standards, maintain its Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing, and remain tradable via XETRA, preserving a degree of capital market transparency for shareholders.

Cancellation of 4,700,000 Treasury Shares Expected to Increase Earnings Per Share

Following completion of the offer, PATRIZIA intends to cancel 4,700,000 of its 5,767,992 currently held treasury shares, equating to 5.09% of the company's share capital. The announcement states this cancellation will result in a corresponding reduction of share capital and, assuming unchanged economic results, an increase in earnings per share. The remaining 1,067,992 treasury shares will be retained to service long-term remuneration components. The treasury share cancellation obligation is conditional upon completion of the offer, and both the downlisting and cancellation steps remain subject to the corporate law duties of care of PATRIZIA's Board of Directors and Executive Directors.

Existing Client Relationships and PATRIZIA's EUR 55bn AUM Platform Unaffected

PATRIZIA manages approximately EUR 55 billion in assets under management across real estate and infrastructure, employing around 800 professionals across 26 locations worldwide. The company has operated for more than 40 years, focusing on what it describes as "DUEL" megatrends — Digital, Urban, Energy, and Living transitions. The announcement states that for clients and business partners, the agreement will have no impact on existing business relationships, with funds, mandates, and contractual arrangements remaining unchanged. FCP has also undertaken, under the agreement, not to enter into a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement with PATRIZIA for a period of three years following completion of the offer.
