Laumann's statements $MUX (+1,83 %) are about much more than just Steyr $4X0 (+0,23 %) and I am curious to see which IPO will follow next.

Mutares SE & Co. KGaA $MUX (+1,83 %) announces that in the course of the placement of shares in Steyr Motors AG announced yesterday $4X0 (+0,23 %) a total of 910,000 shares were placed with qualified investors at a placement price of EUR 34.00 per Steyr share.

The gross issue proceeds for Mutares from the reduction of its stake in Steyr since March 18, 2025, including the placement, amount to approximately EUR 74 million to date.

Following completion of the placement, Mutares will still hold approximately 40% of the shares in Steyr and will be subject to a lock-up obligation of 180 days with customary market exceptions.

Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking acted as Sole Global Coordinator and Sole Bookrunner for the placement.

Mutares plans accelerated sale of Steyr Motors shares

The investment company Mutares SE & Co. KGaA announced today, Thursday, after the close of trading, its intention to sell a significant portion of its stake in Steyr Motors AG in Steyr Motors. According to the published ad hoc announcement, Mutares plans to re-place up to 1,000,000 shares in Steyr Motors AG, which corresponds to around 19.2 percent of the engine manufacturer's total share capital. This step is to be carried out via an accelerated bookbuilding process in which the shares will be offered exclusively to qualified investors in a private placement. This procedure was initiated immediately after the publication of the announcement, whereby Mutares points out that the placement may be terminated at short notice.

Would you currently rather buy additional positions in your portfolio or add new shares to your portfolio?

I am currently short these positions:

$ASML (+1,87 %) (-17%) (actually position full)

$NVDA (+2,65 %) (-20%) (position actually full)

$GOOGL (+5,72 %) (-15%)

$VST (+2,31 %) (-20%)

$HIMS (+4,08 %) (-22%)

$AMZN (+3,74 %) (-2%)

that I would like to get new

$MC (+0 %)

$MELI (+2,44 %)

$SPOT (+1,45 %)

$MSCI (-1,07 %)

$UBER (+5,15 %)

$SIE (+2,75 %)

$MUX (+1,83 %)

With a heavy heart, I have just liquidated my remaining Mutares position.

The stock markets are still falling and so I can add to other stocks.

I easily made up for the €1600 dividend that was lost, but it's still a shame as I like the company and would like to focus mainly on dividends...

I had already sold the first 400 shares 2 weeks ago when the share price was 50% higher.

All in all, I still made a good profit with the full 800 shares.

There has been some back and forth regarding $MUX (+1,83 %) and the alleged change of CIO Laumann. It immediately struck me as very strange and not at all coherent. Well, before some people here want to sell their shares prematurely, you can see the solution in the picture. A financial blogger came up with the idea. She didn't take over any other stock market news, only the Wall Street line did. So, take it easy. This was not a new shortattake

With a heavy heart, I will sell my $MUX (+1,83 %) sell my position. Johannes Laumann was an anchor of trust for me.

I am only prepared to endure the lows and market uncertainties of a share if I have 100% confidence in either the management or the business model. Without Johannes Laumann, I no longer have either.

I had hoped that Mr. Laumann would remain part of Mutares at least until the sustainable billion MC.

There are developments that have been on the horizon for a long time, and there are others that we didn't see coming. Johannes Laumann, Chief Investment Officer at restructuring expert Mutares $MUX (+1,83 %)is moving to the position of CEO at the medium-sized investment holding company MBB $MBB (+2,94 %) taking over from Constantin Mang, who is leaving the company on June 30.

Laumann is considered to be enterprising and very experienced in tracking down lucrative opportunities. And MBB's bulging war chest with net liquidity of over €280 million is just what he needs - not only for a higher number of mergers and acquisitions, but also for the announced "alternative investments".

MBB has held a firm position in gold with great success for decades and will also invest in Bitcoin in the future.

However, it has since emerged that this was an April Fool's joke, so happy investing....

Press release $MUX (+1,83 %) from 01.04.2025

Alcura France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA $MUX (+1,83 %) (ISIN: DE000A2NB650), has made an irrevocable offer for the acquisition of the home healthcare activities - known as PSAD (Prestations de Santé à Domicile) - from Santé Cie Group, a leading European provider of home and outpatient care. The activities in question generated sales of around EUR 17 million in France in 2024.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including consultation with the relevant employee representatives.

Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares, comments: "Alcura France will continue its core business, in particular its MAD (maintien à domicile), organically and through potential acquisitions. In doing so, Alcura France will offer its pharmacy customers a comprehensive range of services while outsourcing non-core activities in order to focus on increasing shareholder value."

After a spectacular share price rally with an all-time high of over 400 euros in March 2025, the Steyr share $4X0 (+0,23 %) crashed to below 90 euros. A shock for many investors - and possibly more than that. The law firm Reime has founded an interest group of aggrieved shareholders and is now examining possible claims for damages against the main shareholder Mutares $MUX (+1,83 %).

Particularly explosive: On March 18, 2025, Mutares published an announcement at 5:06 p.m. regarding the premature lifting of the agreed lock-up period - i.e. the blocking period for share sales after the IPO. This apparently allowed larger blocks of shares to be placed on the market earlier than planned.

(But they are not yet 😂)

However, the high of over EUR 400 was reached in the morning of the same day and the share price had already fallen to EUR 230 at the time of the announcement.

(This is how it is when 11% free float pulls each other up, all shares change hands three times a day and then some people cash in, but you don't need an insider for that 🤷‍♂️😉)

This is exactly where the legal assessment comes in. The interest group is investigating whether individual market participants were given an advantage in advance by selectively passing on information. In this case, according to the law firm, violations of insider trading and market manipulation could be considered.

(If someone smells money, even a lawyer does everything, he judges twice 😅)

"The dramatic price fluctuations allegedly raise significant questions about market integrity and transparency," the statement reads. The law firm is therefore calling for a comprehensive investigation by BaFin and is examining civil liability claims against Mutares - as well as possible directors' and officers' liability.

(Mutares would not have had to release a free float in the future either, then they would have continued to swing up and down and continue to whine because ....🍿🥤)

Man man man, now there are really some crybabies who didn't inform themselves sufficiently in advance and are now crying because they are looking after their money....

...Conclusion: "such is live" ✌🏻
