Sale of no-par shares approved | OneFootball

The Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG annual general meeting has approved the sale of shares to a new shareholder and authorised the Fußball AG to acquire its own shares.

On Tuesday 16 December 2025, the Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG annual general meeting approved the sale of 154,000 no-par value shares of the company from Freunde des Adlers GmbH to the Hans-Nolte Family Foundation. The chairperson of the Hans-Nolte Family Foundation is Hans Nolte, a businessman from the town of Dreieich, just south of Frankfurt, who has been a member of the Fußball AG supervisory board since June 2024.

The Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG board was also authorised to acquire its own shares via the exercising of a Hans-Nolte Family Foundation option. A corresponding purchase option was agreed between Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG and the Hans-Nolte Family Foundation.

The agreed purchase option gives the Fußball AG the right to acquire its own shares at an already established price over the coming years, although there is no obligation to purchase. The Fußball AG can subsequently sell these shares to one or more new shareholders.

Chief financial officer Julien Zamberk sees the move as a positive one, saying: “After the capital increase that has already been concluded, this agreement enables a possible further capital measure that could strengthen the company's equity in the long term and thus support the chosen growth path, without diluting the capital or voting shares of the main shareholder Eintracht Frankfurt e.V.”
