CEO Christian Grotholt remains major shareholder. Transfer of Mr. Grotholt’s 2G shares (29.6 %) to his own asset management company represents the only change.

Heek, June 18, 2025 - 2G Energy AG (ISIN DE000A0HL8N9), one of the leading international manufacturers of sustainable power plants, combined heat and power (CHP) plants and producers of heat pumps, is referring to the directors' dealings published today by the Management Board and 2G founder Christian Grotholt.

This does expressly not represent a sale of his shares in 2G Energy AG, but only a contribution to an asset management company of which he is the sole shareholder.

As Christian Grotholt commented: "Nothing has changed and nothing will change in terms of my commitment. I remain the largest shareholder and would like to continue to vigorously support our company with my knowledge and my network. On the other hand, it is also our aim to make provisions in a timely manner. This is why the previously announced management changes were made at the Annual General Meeting. In this context, the shareholders also approved our proposal to expand the Supervisory Board from three to four members, including the option for me to join the expanded Supervisory Board."

In this way, 2G Energy AG has ensured that the expertise of the existing members of the Supervisory Board, as well as the in-depth experience of its founder and long-standing CEO will continue to be available to the company. In addition to the publication of directors' dealings notifications, the transfer of shares also triggers the necessary notification in pursuant to Section 20 AktG, which is published promptly in the Federal Gazette (shareholdings exceeding or falling below more than 25% of the share capital).

2G company portrait
The 2G Energy AG Group is an internationally leading manufacturer and system provider of decentralized energy supply systems. The company develops, produces and installs comprehensive solutions in the structurally growing market for highly efficient CHPs, large heat pumps and peak-load gensets. Digital grid integration and plant control for these types of energy generators, as well as service and maintenance, are further decisive performance criteria.

The product portfolio comprises three types of energy generation: CHP plants in the output range from 20 kW to 4,500 kW for operation with hydrogen, natural gas, biogas and other lean gases, large heat pumps in the range from 100 kW to 2,6000 kW as well as peak-load gensets with an electrical output of 500 kW or more. CHP plants operate with efficiencies of 90 percent and more, while large heat pumps achieve efficiencies of 300 to 500 percent, depending on the general conditions. With its products and services, 2G is at the interface to a decentralized, secure and largely decarbonized energy supply. More than 9,000 2G systems have already been installed worldwide in various applications, supplying electrical and thermal energy to a wide range of customers from the housing industry, agriculture, commercial and industrial companies, energy suppliers, municipal utilities and local government authorities.

2G is positioned worldwide as a system provider for decentralized energy solutions with its combination of CHP plants, peak-load gensets and large heat pumps. The company benefits from far-reaching synergies of these plant categories, ranging from project development, procurement, production and the predominantly containerized design to the largely identical customer base and regulatory framework as well as sales channels and digital control and service.

2G is consistently expanding its technological leadership through continuous research and development work, both in power plant and heat pump technologies as well as in specific software development for service and maintenance activities. The digital grid integration consistently implemented by 2G is an indispensable, system-relevant element in the future electricity market design and represents a high market entry hurdle for competitors. The sector coupling required for the success of the energy transition is reflected in 2G's portfolio.

2G employs more than 900 employees at its headquarters in Heek, Germany, in North America, as well as at six other European locations. The company is active in more than 50 countries and generated net sales of EUR 375.6 million in the 2024 financial year with an EBIT margin of 8.9 %.

2G was founded in 1995. The shares of 2G Energy (ISIN DE000A0HL8N9) have been listed on the stock exchange market since 2007 and are included in the “Scale” segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and listed in the Scale30 index.
