EQS-Adhoc: Kontron AG: Ad hoc announcement / Ennoconn Corporation intends to launch a mandatory takeover offer to Kontron AG shareholders

Linz, 10 June 2026

Ennoconn Corporation, the largest shareholder of Kontron AG (www.kontron.com) ("Kontron"), informed Kontron on 10 June 2026 that it had exceeded the threshold of 30% of the voting rights in Kontron and is therefore required to make a mandatory takeover offer to all shareholders of Kontron to acquire their shares listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN: AT0000A0E9W5; WKN: A0X9EJ). The offer price shall amount to EUR 23.5 per share in cash. According to information provided by Ennoconn Corporation, it intends to publish the offer document in due course.

Kontron will review the mandatory takeover offer, in particular the offer price, in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions and will comment thereon. The price represents a premium of only 2.4% over the closing price on 9 June 2026 and, according to Ennoconn Corporation, exceeds the statutory minimum price of EUR 23.48.

In accordance with regulatory requirements, and in light of the forthcoming publication of the mandatory takeover offer, Kontron is suspending the share buyback program announced on 25 March 2026 ("Share Buyback Program I 2026") with immediate effect until completion of the mandatory takeover offer.

Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron, has already stated that he intends to remain invested in Kontron and will not accept the mandatory takeover offer in respect of the shares in Kontron held by him, representing approximately 2.2% of the share capital (1,393,963 shares).
