  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The annual financial statements as at 30 September 2024 show a negative equity ratio due to negative equity, and the debt repayment period cannot be determined due to negative cash flows. We therefore conclude that the presumption of a need for reorganisation under § 22 para 1 no 1 URG is met

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

• “At the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 20, 2025, it was resolved to increase the Company's share capital from EUR 2,500,000 to EUR 2,502,500 by issuing one share with a nominal value of EUR 2,500. Steenbok Newco 10 Sárl was authorised to subscribe for this capital increase against a cash contribution of EUR 2,500 and a contribution in kind of a claim of Steenbok Newco 10 Sárl against the Company in the amount of EUR 1,831,198,717.89.
