HOCHDORF Holding AG ( (CH:HT5) ) has provided an announcement.
HT5 AG has signed a merger agreement with uninterruptible power supply specialist Centiel SA, aiming to create a listed Swiss technology company with an international footprint in the critical power protection industry. The combined group will be built around Centiel’s technology platform and global presence in more than 60 countries, where it posted over 25% revenue growth and an EBIT margin above 22% in 2025.
Under the deal, Centiel is valued at CHF 125 million and its shareholders will receive 61,274,508 new HT5 shares, while HT5 plans a cash capital increase of up to 3,885,763 shares at CHF 2.04 to build free float and strengthen financial flexibility. Institutional investors have already committed to fully take up the new shares and a secondary placement, and three current board members have agreed to buy an additional 4 million shares, underlining confidence in the merged company.
The merger is subject to approval at HT5’s 130th Annual General Meeting on 13 April 2026, where shareholders will also vote on capital increases and statutory changes including moving the registered office to Lugano and renaming the company Centiel AG. The proposed new board will combine Centiel’s founders with experienced capital markets and technology executives, while long‑standing director Andreas Herzog will step down after steering the transition from the former Hochdorf Group to HT5 and through to this transaction.
