Vonovia SE (DE000A1ML7J1) has launched a €750 million convertible bond issue targeted at institutional investors, a move that leaves the DAX-listed residential landlord’s equity under pressure on Xetra today as markets digest the dilution risk. The ad-hoc announcement published via EQS details key terms of the issue and confirms that existing shareholders will not receive subscription rights.

What the ad-hoc filing confirms

According to the 23 June 2026 ad-hoc release, Vonovia plans to issue senior unsecured convertible bonds maturing on 30 June 2031 with an aggregate principal amount of €750 million, placed exclusively with institutional investors in an accelerated bookbuilding. The company’s EQS disclosure sets out the size and maturity and explicitly notes the exclusion of pre-emptive subscription rights for existing shareholders under German law.

The bonds are structured without periodic interest payments, with Vonovia stating that the coupon will be set at 0 percent and a conversion premium between 35 percent and 40 percent above the reference share price once the bookbuilding is completed. Investing.com highlights the zero-coupon structure and the indicated premium range, framing the transaction as a financing tool that balances current cash flow preservation against future equity dilution.
