Duisburg, July 2, 2026. As part of an accelerated bookbuilding process, PCC SE placed 2.2 million shares of its publicly traded subsidiary PCC Rokita SA with institutional investors on July 1, 2026, after the market closed. The placement price was 57 PLN per share, equivalent to approximately 13.29 euros per share. The transaction volume thus amounts to approximately 125 million PLN, equivalent to approximately 29.1 million euros.

In an accelerated bookbuilding process, a large block of shares is specifically offered to institutional investors within a short period of time. Based on the incoming demand and price indications, the final placement price and the number of shares allocated are then determined.
An increased free float is intended to enhance tradability and improve the company’s standing in the capital markets
With the completion of the offering, the free float of PCC Rokita SA will increase. This is intended to improve the tradability of the stock on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and strengthen PCC Rokita SA’s profile in the capital markets.

Waldemar Preussner: “Long-Term Investor in PCC Rokita”
“Following the announcement of the planned integration of the MCAA business unit into PCC Rokita SA, we have observed significant interest from financial investors and have taken their assessments into account during numerous discussions,” explains Waldemar Preussner, founder and owner of PCC SE. “The low free float of PCC Rokita shares to date was a recurring topic in these discussions. I have therefore decided to offer a portion of the shares to investors, even though, in my view, the current market valuation remains below the fair value of PCC Rokita SA.”
Preussner adds: “With the placement now complete, we have been able to attract renowned financial investors. I am convinced that this can have a positive impact on the market perception of PCC Rokita SA. At the same time, I remain a long-term investor in PCC Rokita SA through PCC SE. A lock-up agreement has therefore been arranged for the remaining shares.”
A restriction on the sale for 180 days has been agreed upon
In connection with the accelerated bookbuilding process, PCC SE has undertaken not to sell the remaining shares of PCC Rokita SA it holds—subject to customary market exceptions—for a period of 180 days from the settlement date of the transaction. The Polish securities firm Trigon Dom Maklerski S.A. acted as the sole global coordinator and sole bookrunner for the transaction.
