Westwing Group SE Granted Exemption from Mandatory Offer Obligation

Westwing Group SE, based in Munich, announced a significant development involving shareholders Rocket Internet SE, Global Founders GmbH, Rocata GmbH, and Zerena GmbH. On October 30, 2026, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority granted these entities a precautionary exemption from the obligation to make a mandatory offer. This exemption correlates with a potential scenario where Westwing Group SE's treasury shares are canceled, potentially leading to surpassing the 30% control threshold as outlined in Section 37 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG).

The exemption is subject to certain conditions and applies individually to each applicant. Further specifics on the exemption are available via a link provided in the German version of the announcement. Westwing Group SE continues to navigate complex regulatory landscapes with precision.
