DDM Debt AB (publ) (the "Company" or "DDM") - Announces Intention on Issuing New Equity to Seize Emerging Opportunities in the European NPL Market

The Company today announced that it is actively seeking new equity investors to raise capital aimed at accelerating its growth and capitalizing on compelling opportunities arising in the European NPL markets.

Recent shifts in the European banking landscape have led to a resurgence of distressed asset sales, presenting a timely opportunity for well-capitalized investors to acquire attractive portfolios at favorable valuations. By raising additional equity capital, DDM intends to:

• Accelerate the acquisition of secured and unsecured NPL portfolios, strengthening its position in core markets across Centraland Eastern Europe.
• Expand its portfolio and rebuild the Estimated Remaining Collections (ERC) base, ensuring sustainable and predictable cash flows in the years ahead.
• Leverage synergies within the broader Group, including integration opportunities with AxFina’s servicing operations and technology-driven collection capabilities.
• Position the Company to benefit from a market environment marked by regulatory-driven asset sales and continued deleveraging by European banks.

“Following a period of strategic repositioning, DDM is re-invigorating its NPL purchasing activities,” said Matthew Doerner, CEO of DDM Debt AB. “With improving market dynamics and a strong pipeline of potential acquisitions, this capital raise will enable us to act decisively on attractive opportunities and generate long-term value for our shareholders.”
