H2APEX Plans Capital Increase for Hydrogen Expansion

H2APEX Group SCA is set to bolster its hydrogen production capacities with a shareholder loan and a planned capital increase. The company has secured a EUR 20 million loan from Active Ownership Fund SICAV SIF SCS and a EUR 15 million comfort letter from an Atlan Group investor. These funds will support the acquisition of HH2E's hydrogen project in Lubmin and further development of existing projects. The move demonstrates confidence in the hydrogen market's growth.

CEO Peter Rößner expresses satisfaction with shareholder support and highlights the potential to generate substantial electrolysis capacity. A capital increase targeting EUR 30 million is planned for June 2025, focusing on institutional investors. This initiative aligns with Germany's hydrogen market consolidation and political stability following a new coalition agreement. Additionally, Active Ownership retains the option to convert the loan into H2APEX shares, signaling long-term commitment.
