In October 2025, PCC issued its 100th bond, underlining its position as one of the most experienced issuers of corporate bonds in Germany.
We have been issuing bonds to finance our growth strategy for almost 30 years now. Since the first issuance on October 1, 1998, we had placed a total of 100 bonds and one profit participation certificate by the reporting date of December 31, 2025. Of these, we had redeemed 80 bonds and the profit participation certificate by the end of the past fiscal year, with all interest and capital payments having been made on schedule. This has resulted in a close relationship of trust between the approximately 20,000 subscribers to PCC securities and PCC SE.
Within the mix of equity and debt capital, the issuance of bonds (bearer debentures) is an essential financing instrument for the sustainable and profitable growth of our group of companies. In our position as the investment holding company of the PCC Group, bond issuances enable us to respond promptly to new market or investment opportunities and to finance both corporate acquisitions and the organic growth of our Group flexibly and independently of banks. The issuance of bonds to a broad circle of private and institutional investors will therefore remain a central component of our financing strategy. On a parallel track, we supplement our financing base with targeted project and loan financing.

The relatively small issuance volumes of our bearer bonds in amounts up to € 40 million provide us with the flexibility necessary to cover our financing requirements. At the same time, we benefit from a balanced process of fund inflows and repayment outflows without excessive peak burdens. Consistent with our conservative business philosophy, we only acquire funds through our security placements to the extent needed in each case by PCC as a growth-led investor to promote the further development of the PCC Group.

Investor events: PCC Group Management in dialog with our investment stakeholders
Several times a year, the PCC Group management enters into direct personal dialog with our investors. Every quarter, we hold an investor conference as an online webcast at which the Group’s Executive Board presents the recently published quarterly report, explains current business developments, and participates in an interactive Q&A session with the audience. In the fall of each year, we hold our traditional PCC Information Evenings in several major German cities, giving investors and other interested parties the opportunity to meet personally with the Executive Board in an exclusive setting. Every two years in the summer, we also invite our investment stakeholders to our Investor Day at our Group headquarters, the PCC Villa in Duisburg. The next such event is scheduled for July 11, 2026. More than 1,000 investors attended our last Investor Day on June 22, 2024. At the start of the event, Waldemar Preussner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and founder of PCC, welcomed the guests in person. CEO Dr. Peter Wenzel provided information on the business development of the PCC Group and current investment projects. Following the presentations, the management and employees from Duisburg, Essen and Oberhausen made themselves available for personal discussions with the investors.
Our traditional information evenings – the photo shows one such event held in the former Duisburg steelworks – are always well attended.
