Update to the Interhome acquisition in response to the Swiss Competition Commission’s announcement regarding the review of the Hotelplan Group acquisition by DERTOUR Group

Luxembourg, 27 May 2025 - Following today’s announcement by the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) regarding the planned acquisition of Hotelplan Group by DERTOUR Group, HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG) expects to close its previously announced acquisition of Interhome latest within the next four months.

HomeToGo signed a binding agreement for the Interhome acquisition and successfully completed the related capital increase in February 2025. The Company has received all relevant regulatory approvals already in March 2025.

Today, COMCO announced that it will initiate an in-depth investigation (Phase II review) of the planned acquisition of Hotelplan Group by DERTOUR Group. Neither HomeToGo nor Interhome are directly subject to this review by COMCO. HomeToGo and DERTOUR Group have signed definitive agreements to acquire separate entities of Hotelplan Group in a joint transaction: HomeToGo has signed a binding agreement to acquire Interhome – Europe’s second-largest vacation rental management company – while DERTOUR Group has signed a binding agreement to acquire the other entities of Hotelplan Group. While HomeToGo has already received all necessary regulatory approvals, the transaction as a whole cannot close until the regulatory approval required by COMCO for the DERTOUR Group transaction has also been received. Therefore, the review by COMCO is expected to delay the overall closing, including HomeToGo’s acquisition of Interhome. As a result, HomeToGo expects to close the acquisition latest within the next four months.

The purchase price for the acquisition of Interhome is structured with a so-called “locked box” mechanism, meaning that even in the event of a delayed closing, the previously communicated upfront cash payment is still fixed while the expected economic benefit of the Interhome performance during the next months will be reflected in the net assets to be acquired and is expected to have a positive impact on the cash position of HomeToGo Group. The consolidation of Interhome by HomeToGo Group – with the respective visible impact on the reported Booking and IFRS Revenues as well as the reported Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow – will only occur from the date of the consummation of the closing. Should a delay result in a relevant effect on HomeToGo’s guidance for FY/25, the Company will announce any update in accordance with applicable law. HomeToGo, together with Migros and DERTOUR Group, will analyze the expected requirements of the Phase II review and its specific impact on timing.
