DOHA, State of Qatar – June 23, 2026 – Q Prime Holding, a premier publicly listed investment entity on the Qatar Stock Exchange, has officially announced its participation as a cornerstone investor in the approximately €4 billion equity capital raise executed by RWE AG, Germany's largest power generation company and a globally recognized leader in renewable and flexible energy solutions. Through this strategic investment, Q Prime Holding will commit €432 million, thereby increasing its equity stake in RWE from 9.27% to 9.87%. This transaction underscores Q Prime Holding's steadfast commitment to backing world-class energy enterprises that are driving the global transition toward sustainable and decarbonized power systems.

Strengthening Germany's Energy Grid and Electrification Infrastructure

The proceeds of RWE's approximately €4 billion equity capital raise support the company's acquisition of an additional 35% indirect ownership of Amprion GmbH, bringing RWE's total stake in the transmission system operator to 55%. Amprion operates approximately 11,000 kilometres of extra-high-voltage transmission infrastructure across Germany, serving approximately 29 million people and forming a central component of the country's electricity grid.

The transaction is positioned within the broader context of European electrification, renewable power integration and the progressive decarbonisation of the energy system. Transmission infrastructure of this scale is widely regarded as a precondition for the reliable integration of renewable generation and for the structural modernisation of the European power network.

Through its increased exposure to Amprion via RWE, Q Prime Holding's participation is connected to a category of infrastructure defined by regulated, long-duration cash flows and strategic national significance.

Executive Commentary on Strategic Alignment

The cornerstone investment reflects Q Prime Holding's stated strategy of partnering with globally recognized energy and infrastructure companies positioned to support long-term value creation and the evolving requirements of the global energy system. Q Prime Holding characterises the transaction as a disciplined deployment of capital alongside a leading participant in the international energy transition.

The increase in Q Prime Holding's RWE equity stake from 9.27% to 9.87% reinforces a position established through prior investment and signals continued conviction in the company's strategic direction and its role within critical European energy infrastructure.

Q Prime Holding frames the commitment within its broader mandate to participate in globally significant capital-markets transactions that align durable cash-flow generation with structural shifts in the international economy.
