Caution regarding expressions of interest in share takeovers from unknown bidders

Zurich, 20 March 2026. For the past few days, investors in Aimondo AG’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) business have been receiving emails from a Munich-based limited company. This company, previously unknown to us, claims to be a strategic partner for sustainable investment through value creation via targeted capital investments in key sectors.

It is stated that, in this context, a mandated institutional partner has expressed a specific interest in the selective acquisition of chosen blocks of Aimondo shares as part of over-the-counter transactions (“OTC transactions”).

We are unable to assess this interest, but would like to point out that, in our view, the intention to gather data using phishing techniques cannot be ruled out. In this context, an institutional partner who remains anonymous is mentioned.

It is true that around a hundred investors have acquired Aimondo AG’s technologically leading AI platform as well as rights from TTIP Ltd. Thanks to a management buy-out (MBO), the know-how is being transferred under new management to the company Ainstynity Ltd. in Cyprus and further developed for the international online economy. This MBO is already underway – an external third party such as the Munich Group has no legitimate role in this process.

The email offer strikes us as a classic acquisition or phishing scheme. A breach of the GDPR and/or the German Securities Trading Act (WpIG) is also possible. We cannot identify a BaFin licence for this so-called Investment GmbH.

What is correct, however, is that the acquisition of a public limited company (AG), whose shares are already registered on Nasdaq Nordic, has already taken place through Ainstynity Ltd. The next steps, such as a capital increase etc., are currently underway. Details of this have been communicated to the numerous Aimondo security holders. The website ExYom.com, representing the new management and ownership structure, is also online and can serve as an attractive preview of future benefits for the international clients now being acquired. The driving forces behind this development are the team, the founders and the existing committed investors – not data fishermen emerging from the fog.

In light of the above comments, it appears – without this being intended as advice from Aimondo AG – appropriate to examine such offers with the utmost scepticism and to question them critically.
