First Capital Partner GmbH announced on November 12, 2026, a voluntary partial cash offer to buy PATRIZIA shares for €8.20 per share, a 30.2% premium to the closing price on XETRA the previous day. The offer is linked to an investment agreement and a plan to transfer the shares from the regulated market to the Scale segment, while trading continues via XETRA. PATRIZIA said the change is intended to ease the regulatory and administrative burdens associated with a regulated-market listing. The offer does not cover all outstanding shares, and the company described it as not being a delisting offer under German Stock Exchange Act. That puts the proposed cash price at the center of the announcement, alongside the listing-segment change the company is seeking to complete.

FCP has set no minimum acceptance threshold, while the final terms will be included in the offer document, whose publication requires approval from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority. PATRIZIA said the acceptance period will begin when the document is published, after which the management and supervisory boards will issue a joint reasoned statement. The absence of a minimum acceptance threshold allows the offer to proceed without requiring a specified proportion of the shares to be tendered, subject to the terms to be set out in the document. FCP has also undertaken not to enter into a control and/or profit and loss transfer agreement with PATRIZIA for three years after completion of the offer. Regulatory approval and publication of the document remain steps that must precede the start of the acceptance period.

PATRIZIA plans to begin the share-transfer process during the offer’s acceptance period and expects to complete the move to the Scale segment by January 2027 at the latest. The company said trading will continue via XETRA after the move and that it will remain present in the capital market. The transfer changes the listing segment, the company said, with the aim of reducing the regulatory and administrative burdens associated with the regulated market. It comes alongside an offer that does not target the purchase of all outstanding shares, as the company described it. The practical steps and their timing are expected to become clear when the offer document is published and the acceptance period begins.

In separate results announced by PATRIZIA on November 9, three days before the offer announcement, closed transactions in the first nine months of 2026 rose 11.9% to €2.6 billion, compared with €2.3 billion in the corresponding period of 2025. Signed transactions also increased 3.2% to €2.4 billion. The company attributed the resilience of activity to more client-led exits and the conversion of existing pipeline deals into closed transactions. It said this was achieved despite difficult market conditions in the third quarter. These results provide an earlier operational backdrop to the offer announcement and are not part of the November 12 announcement.

EBITDA in the first nine months of 2026 rose 37.3% to €61.3 million, from €44.6 million a year earlier, while the margin widened to 30.1% from 22.1%. Net profit nearly tripled, reaching €20.5 million, compared with €6.9 million in the same period of 2025. Chief Executive Officer Asoka Wöhrmann said, "Investors are returning to real assets, but they have become more selective and expect a clear premium over fixed income." He added that generating returns depends increasingly on active asset management, according to the company’s account of his remarks. These figures and management’s message reflect performance in the period before the offer announcement.

Assets under management stood at €55.0 billion on September 30, 2026, compared with €56.2 billion on December 31, 2025, with the company attributing the decline mainly to exits. It also pointed to €1.5 billion in open capital commitments. PATRIZIA raised the lower end of its 2026 EBITDA guidance to €65.0 million from €60.0 million, while keeping the upper end at €75.0 million. At the same time, it lowered its expected assets-under-management range to €53.0–57.0 billion from €55.0–60.0 billion, excluding currency effects. The company said exit activity and the ongoing conversion of pipeline deals supported transactions despite tougher market conditions, which it linked to higher energy prices related to the Iran conflict, inflation and monetary tightening, including two interest-rate increases by the European Central Bank since the start of June 2026.
