HelloFresh
The management board of HelloFresh SE (ISIN: DE000A161408) (the “Company”), with the consent of the Company’s supervisory board, resolved on 10 January 2022 to use the authorization granted by the Company’s annual general shareholders’ meeting of 26 May 2021 and introduce a share buy-back program with a total volume of up to EUR 250 million, which represents at current share price ca. 2.4% of the Company’s ca. 174 million outstanding shares and shall consist of two tranches. A first tranche of EUR 125 million (excluding costs incidental to the purchase) was launched on 11 January 2022 and closed on 2 February 2022. A second tranche of up to another EUR 125 million is intended to be launched potentially later, subject to market developments.
Under the first tranche, the Company may acquire shares for up to EUR 125 million (excluding costs incidental to the purchase and not more than 2.5 million shares) in the period from 11 January 2022 through (and including) 31 March 2022, provided that the end date can be extended by the number of trading days, if any, on which no purchases can be made due to the contractually agreed price range. Any repurchases will be made by Kepler Cheuvreux within a contractually agreed price range; in the case of a substantial increase in the Company’s share price, no or only part of the planned purchases would be made. Repurchased shares will be cancelled or used to meet obligations arising from the Company’s employee equity incentive programs. The Company reserves the right to terminate the buy-back program at any time.
Ad-hoc announcement: HelloFresh SE announces up to EUR 250 million share buy-back program.
Weekly announcements pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (MAR).

HelloFresh SE
The management board of HelloFresh SE (ISIN: DE000A161408) (the “Company”), with the consent of the Company’s supervisory board, resolved on 25 October 2023 to introduce a buy-back in the Company’s shares and, likely to a smaller extent, in convertible bonds issued in May 2020, with a total combined volume of up to EUR 150 million (excluding costs incidental to the repurchases). The share repurchase is based on the authorization granted by the Company’s annual general shareholders’ meeting of 12 May 2022.
Any repurchases will be made through banks. The share repurchases are planned to be based on a certain program, which aims to buy a higher number of shares at lower share price levels, a lower number of shares at higher share price levels and no shares above a certain share price level; in no case will more than 15 million shares be bought back. Any repurchases of convertible bonds are intended to be made in small amounts on an opportunistic basis depending on price developments and are limited to a maximum total of EUR 50 million nominal of convertible bonds (i.e., 500 convertible bonds). As a consequence, the Company may not deploy the full EUR 150 million. The purpose of the share buy-back is to cancel the repurchased shares and thereby reduce the Company’s share capital or to use them to meet obligations arising from the Company’s employee equity incentive programs. Any repurchase of convertible bonds would further optimize the Company’s capital structure; the repurchased convertible bonds, if any, will be cancelled.
The buyback program will start at the earliest on 26 October 2023 and will terminate at the latest on 31 December 2024.
The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the buy-back regarding its shares and/or the buy-back regarding the convertible bonds at any time.
