   Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (19 May 2026) -- ams OSRAM
   announces the successful pricing of EUR 1 billion 7.250% Senior Notes due
   2032, supporting the path to positive Free Cash Flow from 2027 onwards

   “The strong oversubscription and upsizing of our bond issuance underline
   the high level of investor confidence in our Digital Photonics strategy
   and the consistency of our execution. Securing the bond at an attractive
   coupon of 7.250% accelerates our deleveraging and will reduce interest
   expense by around EUR 40 million already in 2027. By strengthening our
   balance sheet and cash flow profile, this transaction supports our
   ambition to unlock growth opportunities in Digital Photonics and underpins
   our clear path to positive free cash flow without divestitures from 2027
   onwards.” said Rainer Irle, CFO of ams OSRAM.

    

   ams OSRAM announced today the successful pricing of EUR 1 billion
   aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due May 2032 at a
   coupon of 7.250% per annum (the "Notes") at an issue price of 98.810%,
   which was upsized due to strong demand, as part of its regularly updated
   Balance Sheet Deleveraging Plan initially announced on 30 April 2025.

   The offering of the Notes is expected to close and the Notes are expected
   to be issued on or around 1 June 2026. ams OSRAM intends to use the
   proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on balance
   sheet, to (i) redeem in full its outstanding USD 750,000,000 12.250%
   Senior Notes due 2029, (ii) partially redeem its outstanding EUR
   1,025,000,000 10.500% Senior Notes due 2029, and (iii) pay related costs,
   fees and expenses, including redemption premiums and accrued interest.

   The announced transaction is another building block of our comprehensive
   deleveraging and balance-sheet improvement plan. It reduced the annual
   interest cost by around EUR 40 million, addresses a large portion of the
   2029 maturities at an early stage to achieve a balanced maturity profile,
   and complements the recently announced divestments as well as the
   extension of our Revolving Credit Facility.

   This announcement may contain statements about ams-OSRAM AG (the
   “Company,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) or the Group
   that are or may constitute or include forward-looking statements.
   Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts
   and may be identified by words such as “plans”, “targets”, “aims”,
   “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “estimates”, “will”,
   “may”, “continues”, “should” and similar expressions. These
   forward-looking statements reflect, at the time made, the Group’s beliefs,
   intentions and current targets/aims concerning, among other things, the
   Company’s or the Group’s results of operations, financial condition,
   liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies. Forward-looking statements
   include statements regarding: objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and
   growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for
   future growth; economic outlook and industry trends; developments of the
   Company’s or the Group’s markets; and the strength of the Company’s or any
   other member of the Group’s competitors. Forward-looking statements
   involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend
   on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The
   forward-looking statements in this announcement are based upon various
   assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,
   including without limitation, management’s examination of historical
   operating trends, data contained in the Group’s records and other data
   available from third parties. Although the Group believes that these
   assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently
   subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties,
   contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or
   impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Forward-looking
   statements are not guarantees of future performance and such risks,
   uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the
   actual outcomes and the results of operations, financial condition and
   liquidity of the Company and other members of the Group or the industry to
   differ materially from those results expressed or implied in this
   announcement by such forward-looking statements. No assurances can be
   given that the forward-looking statements will be realized. The
   forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement.
   The Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release any
   updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any
   change in the Group’s expectations with regard thereto or any changes in
   events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking
   statements are based. No representation or warranty is made that any of
   these forward-looking statements or forecasts will come to pass or that
   any forecast result will be achieved. Undue influence should not be given
   to, and no reliance should be placed on, any forward-looking statement.

   In connection with the offering of the Notes, the stabilizing managers (or
   any person acting on behalf of the stabilizing manager) may, to the extent
   permissible by applicable law, over-allot Notes or effect transactions
   with a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the
   respective series of Notes at a level higher than that which might
   otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the stabilizing
   manager will undertake any such stabilization action. Any stabilization
   action, if commenced, may begin on or after the date of adequate public
   disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Notes and may be ended
   at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days
   after the issue date of the Notes and 60 calendar days after the date of
   the allotment of the respective series of Notes. Any stabilization action
   or over-allotment must be conducted by the stabilizing manager (or a
   person acting on behalf of the stabilizing manager) in accordance with all
   applicable laws and rules.
