Anette Schmid and Reporting Group Decrease Stake in SCHMID Group N.V. via Gift Transfer
On July 8, 2026, Anette Schmid and a group of reporting persons filed a Schedule 13D/A for SCHMID Group N.V. (SHMD). The filing reports a decrease in beneficial ownership to 34,888,004 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing 40.25% of the class, down from a previous 41.76%. The change primarily stems from a gift transaction on July 3, 2026, where Christian Schmid transferred 500,000 shares to Helmut Rauch, a management member of Gebr. Schmid GmbH, for no consideration. The reporting group includes Anette Schmid, Christian Schmid, and several investment vehicles: Schmid Aequitas GmbH & Co. KG, Schmid Grundstucke GmbH & Co. KG, and C. Schmid Beteiligung GmbH & Co. KG. The group maintains shared voting and dispositive power over the reported shares pursuant to a Joint Voting Agreement. The reported total includes 30,888,004 outstanding shares and 4,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. An additional 5,000,000 Earn-Out Shares are held but excluded from the aggregate total as voting and dispositive power has not yet vested.
