The first and second capital increases were executed to facilitate the tender procedure whereby the DSM N.V. ordinary shares were exchanged for DSM-Firmenich AG’s ordinary shares (ratio 1:1).

The third capital increase was facilitated via investment bank Goldman Sachs, which subscribed to 6,696,477 million DSM-Firmenich ordinary shares at nominal value. Subsequently the shares were placed in the market which resulted in a paid-in capital surplus of €732 million (CHF 678 million).

Via the fourth capital increase, DSM-Firmenich AG issued ordinary shares to Firmenich’s shareholders as part of the agreed consideration to contribute 8,019,000 shares out of 8,100,000 shares (100% minus any treasury shares held by Firmenich International SA) of the capital of Firmenich International SA.

On 31 December 2023, the total number of issued DSM-Firmenich AG ordinary shares amounted to 265,676,388.
