HanseYachts AG has reached a major milestone: Andreas Müller and Hanjo Runde, CEO of HanseYachts AG, are acquiring the shares of the company's previous majority shareholder 'Aurelius' through their investment companies.

The parties have signed a joint Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). Aa a result of this transaction, Andreas Müller will become the new majority shareholder of HanseYachts AG. This marks a key step toward the further stabilization and strategic development of the company.

The completion of the purchase agreement is still subject to further arrangements, particularly with the financing banks and the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - including agreements on the restructuring of existing liabilities. These are considered crucial prerequisites for the continued transformation of HanseYachts AG. Although negotiations are ongoing, all parties are confident they will act responsibly and in the company's best interest.

Hanjo Runde, CEO HanseYachts AG: "With Andreas Müller, we gain a strong and committed owner who shares our values and long-term vision."

Andreas Müller: "As a family entrepreneur, the sustainable development of HanseYachts is very important to me. What matters most to me is the mindset and actions of a mid-sized business: entrepreneurial, responsible, and focused on the long-term future."
