Entry into Definitive Agreements for $30 Million Convertible Notes Financing
On January 18, 2026, SCHMID Group N.V. (the “Company”) entered into an investment agreement with an institutional investor (the "Investor") pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million convertible into ordinary shares of the Company (the "Notes") together with the issuance of warrants to purchase ordinary shares of the Company (the "Warrants") in a private placement to the Investor (the Notes and Warrants together, the "Investment Agreement").
The Notes will be pursuant an indenture issued at 98% of principal amount and are funded in two tranches: (i) $15.0 million will be funded two business days after the execution of the Investment Agreement, i.e. on January 21, 2026 and (ii) $15.0 million will be funded following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares in relation to the Notes.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, compounded quarterly and payable in kind, subject to the Company’s right to elect cash payment upon prior notice. The Notes have a two-year maturity, i.e. they will mature on January 21, 2028, unless previously converted into shares of the Company.
The Notes are convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of the Company at prices determined by reference to fixed premium conversion prices including at 95% of the applicable volume-weighted average price of the shares of the Company, subject to a minimum conversion price and certain daily conversion limits as further specified in the Investment Agreement.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company will also issue warrants to the Investor to purchase shares of the Company in an amount determined by reference to the principal amount of the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable until December 15, 2028, at an exercise price equal to the lower of the applicable fixed premium conversion prices under the Notes, exercisable for cash or, at the Company’s election, on a cashless basis.
In connection with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Company will also enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor pursuant to which the Company agrees to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants.
The Company’s obligations under the Notes are guaranteed by its German operating subsidiary, Gebr. Schmid GmbH, subject to applicable German law limitations. The Investment Agreement and the provisions of the Notes and Warrants contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, issuer call provisions, change of control protections, mandatory redemption events, and events of default customary for transactions of this type.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions or investments.
The foregoing description of the Investment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Investment Agreement (including the first amendment to such Investment Agreement) which is annexed to this Form 6-K as Exhibit 10.1.
The securities described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state’s securities laws, and are being issued and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration provided for under the Securities Act. Accordingly, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of common stock issued and sold in the Private Placement. Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.
No Utilization of Second Tranche of €10 million Convertible Loan Facility and Progress on 2024 20-F Filing
As a result of the signing of the Investment Agreement with the Investor, the Company will not draw the second tranche in the amount of €7.5 million under the previously announced €10 million two-tranche convertible loan facility entered into on December 17, 2025, as the terms of the Investment Agreement are commercially more favorable to the Company.
As announced in December 2025, the Company intends to complete its 2024 financial statements and publish its annual report for that fiscal year on Form 20-F in February 2026 to regain full compliance with applicable Nasdaq and SEC regulations.

As previously published in the Company's press release in November 2025, the Company has agreed to issue shares to XJ Harbour HK Limited ("XJ") to set-off liabilities to XJ of USD 26,962,158.90 (which includes accrued interest). In November 2025, the Company and XJ agreed to issue shares of the Company at a share price of USD 2.15 per share. In a shareholders' meeting held on December 23, 2025, the Company's shareholders have authorized the share issuance to XJ. As a result, a total of 12,540,539 shares of the Company have been issued to XJ on January 16, 2026 on which date the set-off of the outstanding XJ liabilities will take effect automatically.
Prior to the issuance to XJ, 43.06 million shares of the Company were outstanding. Following the completion of the share issuance to XJ, 55.6 million shares of the Company are now outstanding. Of the total number of shares outstanding, 5 million shares are earn-out shares held by Christian Schmid and Anette Schmid which are subject to cancellation as set out in the Company's previous public filings including in the earn-out agreement dated January 29, 2024 (all 5 million shares will be cancelled unless the share price of the Company reaches USD 15.00 (in relation to 2.5 million shares), respectively, USD 18.00 (in relation to another 2.5 million shares) three years after the closing of the de-SPAC with Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp on April 30, 2027).
