OHB plans 500 million euro capital increase to fund growth

OHB SE plans a capital increase that would raise about 500 million euro and widen its free float. The Bremen group is targeting existing shareholders through subscription rights, with proceeds earmarked for production expansion, launch-vehicle investment, strategic M&A and future lunar and low-Earth-orbit programs.

The company is tying the transaction to its next growth phase in a consolidating European space market. That puts new equity behind industrial scaling, capacity build-out and optionality on acquisitions while reducing reliance on balance-sheet funding.

The execution details, pricing and timetable remain open.
