Stake Decision

Advent HoldCo has decided not to acquire LANXESS' stake in the ENVALIOR joint venture in 2026, as initially tendered by LANXESS in September 2025. This decision is based on a contractually agreed financing condition.

Future Tender Periods

As a result, the additional tender and purchase periods for LANXESS' shares in ENVALIOR will now apply in 2027 and 2028, as outlined in the ad hoc announcement from September 23, 2025.

Financial Stability

Despite the absence of proceeds from a sale in 2026, LANXESS remains financially stable. The company maintains a strong cash position and has undrawn, firmly committed credit lines exceeding EUR 1.35 billion, ensuring the repayment of the bond maturing in October 2026.

Debt Management

Reducing financial debt continues to be a high priority for LANXESS, and the company retains unrestricted access to the debt capital markets.
