Dürr Group sells Danish subsidiary Agramkow

Dürr AG - WKN 556520 / ISIN DE0005565204

Bietigheim-Bissingen, April 25, 2024 - The Dürr Group is selling the Danish
Group company Agramkow Fluid Systems A/S, including two subsidiaries and
further assets, to the Swedish investment company Solix Group AB. Agramkow
specializes in filling technology for the non-automotive sector and achieved
sales of around EUR45 million in the 2023 fiscal year. Agramkow's enterprise
value stands at EUR47 million.

Headquartered in Sønderborg, Denmark, Agramkow is the world's leading
supplier of systems for filling refrigerators, air-conditioning systems, and
heat pumps with refrigerant. The company has belonged to the Dürr Group
since 2011 but is no longer part of the strategically relevant core business
and has few synergies with other parts of the Group. As a result, the Board
of Management of Dürr AG believes that Agramkow has better growth prospects
outside the Group. The transaction does not involve the business in filling
technology for the automotive industry, which is operated by Dürr Somac GmbH
and remains within the Dürr Group as part of its core business.

Agramkow belongs to the Industrial Automation Systems division. In 2023,
with around 160 employees, Agramkow achieved an EBIT margin before
extraordinary effects above the Group average of 6.1 %. The purchase
agreement signed with Solix today is likely to be executed at the end of the
second quarter, following completion of the carve-out process. Due to the
expected proceeds from the sale, Dürr AG is adjusting the forecast for its
net financial status as of December 31, 2024, to between EUR-500 and -550
million (previously: between EUR-540 and -590 million).
