EPH Group AG Unveils "Land-for-Equity" Model in Real Estate Financing

Vienna, September 10, 2025 – EPH Group AG introduces its "Land-for-Equity" model, a transformative approach in real estate financing. This model allows land sellers to receive payment in EPH shares, presenting an alternative to traditional financing in a challenging market. Amidst stringent bank lending practices, EPH aims to facilitate growth for property owners and investors in the German-speaking regions. EPH shares will soon debut on the Vienna and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges.

High interest rates and restricted lending have hindered hotel and tourism property development. EPH's model offers a solution, allowing property transactions with at least EUR 1,000,000 or 30% of the price in shares. This method provides liquidity, equity growth, and strengthens EPH's market position.

Already, the model has secured three new projects, boosting EPH's equity by EUR 3.35 million. The collaborative approach involves landowners becoming shareholders, enhancing networking and project synergy. CEO Alexander Lühr highlights its scalability and impact on accelerated growth and capital market access.
