A&O Shearman advises on placement of 1.86m existing shares of Elmos Semiconductor SE

The two anchor shareholders Weyer Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and ZOE-VVG GmbH successfully placed 1.86m existing shares of Elmos Semiconductor SE (corresponding to approximately 10.5 percent of the current share capital) on a pro-rata basis with institutional investors at a placement price of EUR176.00 per share.

The successful completion of the placement will increase the free float of the Elmos shares from currently approximately 46 percent to approximately 56 percent. Following the completion of the transaction, the three anchor shareholders of the company will collectively hold around 44 percent of the share capital, providing a continued stable ownership structure. After the announced cancellation of 540,000 treasury shares, planned to take place after the AGM at the end of May 2026, the three anchor shareholders will hold around 45 percent of the reduced share capital of the company.
