Significant events and transactions

On 5 January 2026, Port of Hamburg Beteiligungsgesellschaft SE (PoH) issued a statement that it now holds more than 95 % of the shares in HHLA and that it seeks to transfer the remaining shares held by HHLA’s minority shareholders to PoH against payment of an appropriate cash settlement (so-called squeeze-out acc. to Section 327a AktG). The squeeze-out becomes effective on approval of the Annual General Meeting and entry into the commercial register.

Within the Port Logistics and Real Estate subgroups, both the key economic indicators for the first three months of 2026 and HHLA’s actual economic performance were largely in line with the performance forecast in the combined management report for 2025.

There were no other significant events or transactions in HHLA’s operating environment or within the Group during the reporting period which had a significant impact on its results of operations, net assets and financial position.
