Investor FAQ

Answers to the questions investors ask us most often about the corporate bond, Yield Capital and Growth Capital, and about investing in general.

Corporate bond

A public bond issue by Planets Group d.o.o., with a fixed interest rate of 7.5% a year, maturing on 16 July 2029 and registered with the Central Depository & Clearing Company (SKDD). The most accessible way to invest in Koykan, from EUR 1,000.

The interest rate on Koykan bonds is set to offer investors an attractive but sustainable return, given the cash flows the Koykan Group generates through its chain of own and franchised QSR (quick service restaurant) locations. For the current public issue by Planets Group d.o.o., the interest rate is 7.5% a year, fixed, with half-yearly payments and maturity on 16 July 2029. The interest rate of each issue is set in its Resolution on the Bond Issue.

The current issue offers a fixed 7.5% a year. The coupon is paid half-yearly, and the principal in one payment on 16 July 2029.

The minimum investment is EUR 1,000 (the nominal amount of one bond) for the current Planets Group d.o.o. issue, which makes Koykan bonds accessible to a broad range of investors, including retail investors and private individuals. For the co-ownership option (exchanging bonds for stakes), the threshold is EUR 5,000. For the issues by Koykan Growth Company (Koykan Mirna d.o.o.) and Koykan Yield Company (Koykan Drava d.o.o.), the minimum subscription is EUR 5,000. Subscription is possible in steps of EUR 1,000.

The current Planets Group d.o.o. bond (PLGR-O-297A) carries no right of conversion. The Issuer intends to offer investors who have invested at least EUR 5,000 a voluntary exchange for stakes; all other investors receive the nominal value of the bond at maturity, together with the agreed interest. With convertible bonds, investors below the minimum amount for conversion take part through a standard bond and receive the nominal value at maturity.

As with any investment, there are risks, including the risk of partial or total loss of the amount invested. The key risks are the issuer’s credit risk, refinancing risk (earlier issues mature before this one), liquidity risk, early redemption risk, and the operational, expansion and market risks of running restaurants. The bonds are unsecured. Koykan mitigates these risks through geographic diversification across four markets, standardised opening and operating processes (PMO, SOP) and a single POS and ERP system, but it cannot eliminate them. A detailed description of all the risks is in Part C of the Information Document.

In the issue documentation and the instrument’s PRIIP KID, both of which are published on the Offer Documents page. The history of all previous bond rounds is publicly documented on the Koykan Investor Relations page. This page is an informative summary and does not constitute investment advice. Read the issue documentation before making a decision.

Yes. Koykan undertakes to report to investors regularly and transparently through half-yearly investor letters, which will set out the key operating and financial indicators relevant to bondholders. The letters, the annual financial statements of the Group companies and the issue documentation are published on the Investor Relations page: https://koykan-capital.com/investor-relations/.

All relevant information about the Company’s operations, including financial statements, investor materials and information on the bond issues, is publicly available at the following links:

https://koykan.com/en/obveznice/
https://koykan-capital.com/investor-relations/

To give all investors equal access to information, the Issuer does not provide additional unpublished information to individual investors. It publishes all relevant information publicly, to everyone on equal terms.

Yes. The Company may, on prior written notice to holders and under the conditions set out in the issue documentation, redeem the bonds early, in whole or in part. The notice period is set by the Resolution on the Bond Issue (for the current Planets Group d.o.o. issue at least 30 days, and for the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o. issues at least 60 days). In that case, investors receive the full nominal amount of the principal and the accrued interest up to the date of early repayment, with no reduction of the principal, but they forgo the coupon income they would have earned up to the scheduled maturity.

Yes. Everyone who has acquired the right of conversion through their investment will be able to exercise that right in the event of early redemption of the bonds by the company. It is the Company’s intention that holders with a right of conversion can submit a conversion request during the notice period for early redemption. Note, however, that the Resolutions on the Bond Issue allow early redemption to take place even before the deadline for submitting a conversion request has expired. This is therefore the Company’s intention, not a separate contractual right under the Resolution on the Bond Issue.

The Koykan Group issues:
1. Standard bonds of Planets Group d.o.o. with a fixed interest rate and no right of conversion, repaid at maturity. For investors with a holding of at least EUR 5,000, the Issuer intends to offer a separate, voluntary option to exchange for stakes in Planets Group; that option is not part of the rights attached to the bond.
2. Bonds with a right of conversion, which give the investor the right, but not the obligation, to exchange the nominal amount for stakes or shares in the issuer, under the terms of the Resolution on the Bond Issue. Such bonds are issued by Planets Group d.o.o. (the Group’s parent company), Koykan Growth Company (Koykan Mirna d.o.o.), which funds the construction of new restaurants, and Koykan Yield Company (Koykan Drava d.o.o.), which invests in stabilised restaurants for a regular return.

From a threshold of EUR 5,000, you keep the fixed interest, and the Issuer intends to offer you a voluntary exchange of bonds for stakes in the Koykan Group during the life of the bond. The bond is not convertible and the exchange is not a right attached to the bond; the terms of the exchange, including the valuation, will be set by the Issuer in a separate resolution. Acceptance is your choice, not an obligation.

A path to co-ownership of the Koykan Group, the company that owns the brand, the recipes and the franchise system and stands behind all the restaurants and capital channels. Technically, you are investing in a Development Bond at a fixed interest rate, and you become a co-owner only if you accept the exchange offer, if the Issuer makes one.

Questions 15 to 26 relate to convertible bonds (earlier series of Planets Group d.o.o. and the offers by Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o.). The current Planets Group d.o.o. bond (PLGR-O-297A) is not convertible.

Convertible bonds are a type of bond that allows investors to convert the amount they have invested into an equity stake in the company, on predefined terms. Until conversion, the investor is a creditor and receives the agreed interest; on conversion, they become a co-owner and take on the risk and the upside of the stake’s value, including the possibility of dilution. An investor who does not convert keeps the bond and receives the principal at maturity. This is why convertible bonds appeal both to the companies that issue them and to the investors who buy them.

The minimum investment for acquiring the right of conversion is set by the Resolution on the Bond Issue for each issue. In the 2025 Planets Group d.o.o. issue with a right of conversion, the threshold was EUR 50,000, while in the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o. issues every holder has the right of conversion (the minimum subscription is EUR 5,000). The current Planets Group d.o.o. bond is not convertible; for investors from EUR 5,000, the Issuer intends to offer a voluntary exchange. Investors below the threshold take part through a standard bond and receive the nominal amount at maturity.

Yes. All investors who have invested the minimum amount required for the right of conversion in that issue have the right to convert all or part of the nominal amount of the bond into equity stakes in the Company, in accordance with the conversion terms.

Price of one stake (share) = Value of the Company on the conversion date / number of existing stakes (shares) before conversion
Number of new stakes (shares) = Conversion amount / price of one stake (share)

The percentage of ownership after conversion equals the number of stakes acquired divided by the total number of stakes after conversion.

The value of the Company on the conversion date is determined by the most recent valuation at which investors invested in the company’s equity (the value before the capital increase, the so-called pre-money value), but only if that valuation is equal to or higher than EUR 6,250,000. If the value of the Company in that round is lower than that amount, a protective minimum (floor) value of EUR 6,250,000 applies, which corresponds to the Company’s value in its last investment round in 2023.

This rule applies to the bonds with a right of conversion issued by Planets Group d.o.o. In the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o. issues, the value of the company for conversion is determined by an official valuation by an external valuer, by 31 December 2027 at the latest.

An equity round in this context means a new investment in the Company’s business shares by an investor not connected with the Company, carried out in a transparent manner, with accompanying financial and business documentation and a clearly established valuation of the Company that reflects market conditions at the time of the investment.

The investment in the bonds will be converted into equity interests in the Company through the most suitable conversion model, on the conversion date set by the Resolution on the Bond Issue. The conversion mechanism will be structured either directly into business shares of the Company, or through the Company’s transformation into a joint-stock company (d.d.), or through a specially established legal entity (SPV) that will enable investors to hold equity. The model chosen will depend on the legal, regulatory and operational circumstances at the time of conversion, and all investors will be given equivalent economic rights and proportionate ownership. Under the planned structure, on conversion investors acquire preference shares without voting rights, with a right to profit in proportion to the amount paid in. The exact instrument and its features are published when the Company offers conversion. While the issuer is a limited liability company, conversion is carried out by increasing the share capital, and the investor signs a declaration taking up the business share, which a notary public certifies; once the Company has been transformed into a joint-stock company, the new shares are registered with SKDD.

If an investor does not wish to convert the bond, the Company is obliged to pay the entire nominal amount of the bond at maturity, together with the agreed interest.

Yes, an investor can convert part of their bond, provided that the amount converted is not less than the minimum conversion amount set for that issue. The remainder of the bond can be held until maturity, when it will be paid out in accordance with the applicable terms of the issue.

For the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o. offers, request conversion by email to obveznice@koykan.com, no later than 30 months from registration of the issue; receipt of the request is confirmed within 7 days. The Company will then inform you by email, in good time, of all the conversion terms, including the estimated value of the company at the time of conversion, and you will be invited to confirm your conversion request in writing by email, in part or in full, as you decide. If you decide against conversion, you keep your rights as a bondholder.

Within the period set by the Resolution on the Bond Issue for the individual series, the Management Board of the Company undertakes to convene a general meeting to resolve to increase the share capital by issuing new business shares. This will enable investors who invested through a convertible bond to exercise their right of conversion.

After the general meeting has been held, the Management Board will inform all investors of the detailed conversion model, including the technical framework and timetable for carrying it out.

For the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. issue, the Management Board is obliged, by 31 March 2028 at the latest, and for the Koykan Drava d.o.o. issue, by 31 October 2027 at the latest, to work out the conversion model and convene a general meeting to decide on the manner of conversion. For both issues, the Management Board is obliged, by 30 June 2028 at the latest, to prepare a proposal for the technical and legal conversion model and to convene a general meeting to decide on carrying out the conversion.

The Management Board of the Company undertakes to do everything in its power to ensure that the general meeting is held in good time and that the decisions necessary to carry out the conversion are adopted. However, exceptional circumstances or external factors can always arise that affect the course or outcome of that process (for example regulatory changes, litigation or property law obstacles).

If an investor does not exercise the right of conversion for any reason, including their own decision, the bond is treated as a standard bond, and at maturity the Company will pay its nominal value in accordance with the terms of the issue. In the Koykan Mirna d.o.o. and Koykan Drava d.o.o. issues, if the Management Board does not carry out the prescribed actions within the set period, the investor retains the right to request the return of the bond on the original terms.

Planets Group will pay a dividend as decided by its general meeting. At this stage, its aim is to reinvest all of its profit in growing the business.

Yes, by subscribing to them directly. In addition, the exchange offer that the Issuer intends to make to investors from EUR 5,000 will let them choose between co-ownership of the Group, the development of new restaurants and restaurants with stabilised revenue.

Because retail investors built it: more than 500 of them have invested over EUR 4 million since day one. The aim is to round that circle off at one thousand co-owners before funds and strategic partners come in.

Koykan is currently focused on maximising positive cash flows and expanding its operating network through its own and franchised QSR locations. A Series A round at the level of the parent company is being prepared in parallel, and in later phases the entry of a larger strategic or private equity partner is being considered. In future, Koykan will continue to take all business decisions to maximise returns for its investors, with a clear ambition to list on the stock exchange through an IPO at the optimal moment. An IPO is a goal, not an obligation or a guaranteed event. At the same time, Koykan places particular value on retail investors and aims for the highest possible level of transparency towards them, so that trust is built on clear information and a shared interest in long-term success.

Co-ownership is a long-term position. The Group’s goal is a stock exchange listing, after which the shares would trade at the market price; until then, liquidity is limited. Other scenarios are also possible, such as strategic transactions. All of these are possibilities, not guarantees.

For this issue, in accordance with the applicable regulations and the size of the issue, there was no obligation to produce a prospectus. Even so, for its new issue the Issuer has prepared an Information Document in accordance with Article 409 of the Capital Market Act, which contains all relevant information about the Company’s operations, the issuer and the bonds and is publicly available on the Offer Documents page (https://koykan-capital.com/dokumenti-ponude/) and at https://koykan.com/hr/obveznice/. The Information Document has not been reviewed or approved by the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) or ESMA.

The terms of the bond issue are set out in the Resolution on the Bond Issue which, together with the other prescribed documentation, was submitted to SKDD when the issue was carried out.

The Development Bond offer is carried out without a prospectus, on the basis of an Information Document that HANFA has neither reviewed nor approved. The bonds are held with SKDD, and the technical and administrative coordination of the subscription is carried out by Escont Partners d.o.o. The binding terms are set out in the Information Document and the Resolution on the Bond Issue.

You complete the subscription form. After the subscription book closes, you receive a payment request, and the bonds are registered with SKDD. If you do not have an SKDD account, one is opened automatically. Coordination is handled by Escont Partners d.o.o.

Primarily in developing the existing restaurant chain and increasing its profitability.

The bonds are unsecured. They are direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the issuer, for which no third party and no other Group company stands as guarantor. In relation to the issuer’s other unsecured creditors, holders rank equally (pari passu).

No. The bonds are not backed by a guarantee, a surety or collateral from a third party, and the terms of the issue contain no provisions on events of default or any right of holders to demand early repayment. Holders are protected by the registration of the bonds with SKDD, by half-yearly reporting and by their rights under the general rules of the Civil Obligations Act (default interest, judicial recovery of a matured claim).

We expect the bond to be issued within 30 days of payment (within that period, the Issuer submits the documentation for registration of the tranche to SKDD). In the current Planets Group d.o.o. issue, all tranches mature on 16 July 2029 (3 years from the registration of the first tranche). The exact date is shown once registration with SKDD has taken place.

From the moment the bond is issued, that is, from the date the bonds are registered to the investor’s account with SKDD. Where subscription is made in several tranches, interest is calculated for each investor from the date their tranche is registered.

Bonds are often issued in tranches. We expect the bond to be issued within 30 days. The other tranches will be issued later, but all will have the same maturity date, coupon dates and coupon rate. Interest for an individual investor accrues neither from the date of payment nor from the end of the offering, but from the date the bonds are registered to their account with SKDD. The first interest payment covers the period from the registration date to the first interest payment date.

When the issue gets under way, an ISIN will be assigned. When SKDD creates the bond and publishes the issue and the issue data, the ISIN will also be clearly indicated. The ISIN and identifier of each issue are also published in the issues table at https://koykan-capital.com/investor-relations/.

Every 6 months from the date of issue. The actual dates depend on the exact date of issue (first registration with SKDD). After registration, they are published on the SKDD website. The final coupon is paid together with the principal on the maturity date.

A PIN is not required. You can access your SKDD account by logging in through the e-Citizens system at https://www.skdd.hr. If you do not have a basic account with SKDD, one is opened free of charge as part of the bond subscription.

Yield Capital

You are investing in bonds with a right of conversion issued by the permanent Koykan Yield Company, Koykan Drava d.o.o. (future company name: Koykan Hospitality d.o.o.). With the funds from this round, it acquires a co-ownership stake in five existing, profitable Koykan locations and, over time, buys further established restaurants from Koykan Growth Company.

Until conversion, through the fixed interest; after conversion, through dividend payments out of the portfolio’s results, as decided by the general meeting. The expected average annual return is 8 to 12%, an indication derived from the expected results of the five locations in 2027, not a guarantee.

Investors’ capital arrives continuously, while a share capital increase of a joint-stock company is a separate, formal corporate event that is not carried out for each individual payment. The bond is therefore an entry phase: your payment starts working from day one at the agreed interest, and you can request conversion into business shares or, once the company has been transformed into a d.d., into shares, no later than 30 months from registration of the issue, at a ratio determined by the value of the company by 31 December 2027 at the latest.

The conversion ratio is determined by the value of the company as confirmed by the Management Board on the basis of an official valuation by authorised consultants, by 31 December 2027 at the latest; until then, the number of stakes or shares is not known. The terms are set out in the Resolution on the Bond Issue.

You are entitled by law to a share in the profit, in proportion to your holding, as soon as you become a holder of a business share. Under the planned structure, profit is distributed in proportion to the amount paid in by class of shares, not the nominal amount. What the Resolution on the Bond Issue does not prescribe is how much of the profit is distributed and when; the general meeting decides that each year. The dividend is paid in cash, through SKDD, after the general meeting’s decision; for individuals, subject to withholding tax of 12%. The target return for future co-owners of Koykan Yield Company (Koykan Drava d.o.o.) is 8 to 12% gross per year, as an indication and not an obligation.

A market listing depends on a number of factors, including whether the company is transformed into a joint-stock company, market conditions and the exchange’s own decision, so although it is our goal, we cannot promise it to you at this time.

It is primarily a long-term investment for the dividend. The goal is a listing of the shares on the Progress market, where the company can carry out buyback programmes, and strategic scenarios are also possible in the long term. All of these are possibilities, not guarantees.

EUR 5,000. For larger amounts, there is an offer with a minimum subscription of EUR 50,000 and interest of 10% a year. For professional investors, the Group is preparing to establish an alternative investment fund (AIF) in the Netherlands. The fund has not yet been established, its establishment depends on approval from the competent authority and it is not part of this offer.

The offer is made without a prospectus, with notification to the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA). HANFA has neither reviewed nor approved the offer or the offer documents. The bonds are registered with SKDD.

Growth Capital

You are investing in bonds with a right of conversion issued by Koykan Growth Company, Koykan Mirna d.o.o. (future company name: Koykan Development d.o.o.), which builds Koykan restaurants across Europe. The first development cycle covers 20 locations, and after conversion, as a co-owner, you share in the earnings from their sale at market value.

Investors’ capital arrives continuously, while a share capital increase of a joint-stock company is a separate, formal corporate event that is not carried out for each individual payment. The bond is therefore an entry phase: the funds start working immediately, and you can request conversion into business shares or, once the company has been transformed into a d.d., into shares, no later than 30 months from registration of the issue, at a ratio determined by the value of the company (set by an independent valuer, by 31 December 2027 at the latest).

The bond remains in force: the term is three years at the agreed interest, so the principal and interest are paid at maturity, unless the Issuer redeems it early.

Our operating partners, the Area Operating Partners (AOPs), are responsible for developing and running restaurants in their area. For the German programme, this is Xela Group, and new locations are taken on by existing or new partners under the same model. The fee and the earn-in are tied to results.

Cycles (build series) will depend on the pace of capital raising. Each series is funded through a single fundraising window, which stays open until the target amount is reached, and covers a defined number of new restaurants. This gives investors a continuous opportunity to invest, and those who have completed one cycle can reinvest in whichever new cycle is then current. Since we want to open several locations a year, the cycles will also overlap, so at any time one cycle will be coming to an end, one will be in the build phase and a third will only be raising funds to start.

Expansion does not stop. Koykan Growth Company is a permanent company; it was not established for a single cycle and is not wound up once the first 20 locations have been built and sold. The first cycle is the first wave in a long-term plan to grow the network across several European markets (Croatia, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and beyond), built in successive cycles: capital is invested, restaurants are built, bedded in and sold to the Yield side, and the proceeds are returned to shareholders, and a new cycle opens.

For you as an investor, this means a choice at the end of each cycle:
1. Exit: you sell your shares in a public buyback offer and receive cash, and you receive the remainder as a dividend.
2. Continue: before the buyback offer, you subscribe for the bonds of the next cycle, to which you have a priority right as an existing shareholder, so your capital keeps working without a break on a new group of locations. The conversion price in subsequent cycles is set by the portfolio value per share published at that time, so that the entry of new investors does not dilute existing ones.
3. Hold: you remain a shareholder and take part in subsequent cycles through dividends and future buyback offers.

None of these three paths is mandatory; the choice is yours each time.

The return is earned in three phases, and the pace depends on the speed at which restaurants are built and sold:

1. Bond phase (until conversion). Fixed interest accrues from the date the bonds are registered to your account with SKDD. Conversion is the right of every investor: the request is submitted no later than 30 months from registration of the issue, and the ratio is determined by the value of the company as set by an independent valuer, by 31 December 2027 at the latest. Until conversion, interest is paid half-yearly. Interest on bonds is not taxable for individuals in Croatia.

2. Share phase (build and bedding-in). After the bonds are converted into shares of the Growth Company, your capital works in restaurants that are being built and bedded in. There are no regular payments in this phase, because value is created only through the sale of established restaurants. Locations are built gradually, and sales begin once an individual location has completed 12 months of stable earnings, which is generally 18 to 30 months after the investment in that location.

3. Return phase (gradually, as restaurants are sold). After each sale, the company distributes the proceeds in two steps: first through a public offer to buy back shares for cash, in which you choose whether to sell part or all of your shares (after a holding period of two years, such a sale is generally not taxable for individuals), and the remainder is paid to all shareholders as a dividend (withholding tax of 12% for individuals). Under the planned distribution policy, the company distributes at least 90% of what it receives each year. Because sales take place at the rhythm at which restaurants are built, returns arrive in several instalments over a number of years, not all at once.

Anyone who wants to continue can, instead of being paid out, subscribe for the bonds of the next cycle, with a priority right, and so keep their capital at work without idle time.

The range of 1.5 to 2 times the amount invested is the target we aim for over a cycle, not a promise of return. It is derived from the mechanics of a single development cycle. The mechanics are as follows:

1. Investors fund the build. Building and fitting out one location costs about EUR 400,000; investors fund that amount through Koykan Growth Company.

2. The restaurant beds in. After opening, a location needs 12 months of stable earnings. Existing Koykan locations generate EUR 500,000 to 1,250,000 in revenue and more than EUR 90,000 of annual EBITDA per location, after all operating costs; these are the figures on which the model rests.

3. The established restaurant is sold according to the published formula, not at the build cost. The price is set so that the buyer (usually Koykan Yield Company) earns a target annual return of about 10% on the capital invested, measured against the cash the restaurant actually generates for owners over the last 12 months, after all fees, taxes and maintenance costs. An example from the current model: a restaurant that generates about EUR 87,000 a year for owners is worth about EUR 870,000 under that formula. The price is calculated by an independent valuation agent, and all input data are published.

4. The difference is the cycle’s earnings. The difference between the sale price and the build cost (in the example about EUR 450,000 per location) is the development margin. From it are deducted sales tax (about 1.6%), a reserve for interest in the bond phase, the company’s costs and the stakes that Koykan (about 5%) and the operating partner (about 5%) acquire for their contribution. The model also assumes that about 10% of the restaurants built do not bed in and are written off.

When all of that is added up at the level of the whole cycle, rather than a single location, the result is the target range of about 1.5 to 2 times the amount invested. The actual result may be lower, depending on the speed of building, bedding in and sale, and may include the loss of part or all of the principal.

The valuation agent (an external specialist firm) checks the restaurant’s 12-month stabilised earnings, applies the formula and publishes all input data, so that anyone can repeat the calculation. The platform agent (a second, independent firm) issues a confirmation without which the transfer cannot be carried out, and every 12 to 24 months it checks the formula against external market comparisons and publishes the result. The fee for that check is not based on transaction value, so the agents have no stake in the price level.

The period of about 30 months is the expected period, not a contractual one. A restaurant is sold only once it has passed the stability test (12 months of stable earnings), so if it needs more time, it is sold later, and the price formula stays the same. If, at the time of sale, Koykan Yield Company does not have enough capital, the planned order is:

1. The sale moves to the next transfer window (windows open twice a year), and the restaurant meanwhile continues to trade and earn.
2. The Yield Company buys with bank financing, based on its existing portfolio.
3. Koykan Capital Partners (the Group’s capital arm) bridges the restaurant to the next window.
4. The operating partner who runs the restaurant buys it at the same price formula.
5. An approved third party buys it at the same formula, subject to consent to the transfer of the franchise.

If none of these routes is available, the restaurant stays in the ownership of the Growth Company and continues to pay out its operating cash flow, so during that period the investor receives income instead of a return of capital. Bear in mind the risks described in the issue documentation: if a restaurant permanently fails to reach its planned earnings, the sale price under the formula will be lower, and in the extreme case a loss of part of the amount invested is possible.

Koykan Development, that is, Growth Capital (the Growth Company, Koykan Mirna d.o.o.), will not pay a regular annual dividend in the traditional sense of the term. Until conversion, the investor receives the agreed fixed interest on the bond. After conversion, value is realised by selling stabilised restaurants to the Yield side at the published price formula, gradually, at the pace at which the restaurants are built. The company returns the proceeds to investors in two steps: first through a public offer to buy back shares, in which participation is voluntary, and then it pays the remainder as a dividend to all shareholders. Under the planned distribution policy, the company distributes at least 90% of what it receives in the year. An investor who wants to continue can first subscribe for the bonds of the next series, with a priority right, and then sell their existing shares in the buyback offer.

The buyback window is indeed part of our plan for Koykan Growth Company (Koykan Mirna d.o.o.) and we intend to carry it out, but it is not part of the Resolution on the Bond Issue, so in that sense it is not our contractual obligation under the bond. The plan is for the obligation to make regular buyback offers to be written into the company’s articles of association on conversion: in every year in which restaurants are sold, the company must carry out at least one public buyback offer, at an independently confirmed net asset value per share, with investor participation remaining voluntary. Everything that protects you in your dealings with us and everything that binds us towards you is contained in the Resolution on the Bond Issue, while the buyback window describes the way in which we plan to close the cycle and give you a choice at its end.

The mechanics are as follows. The capital raised in this cycle is invested in building restaurants, and once those restaurants begin trading stably, their sale is launched. The buyback window opens after that sale, because only then is the realised price known and only then are the funds available, so the window is tied not to a predetermined date but to a completed transaction.

The buyer of the stabilised restaurants is usually Koykan Yield Company, which takes them over at the published price formula and which was established for that purpose. If the Yield side does not have enough capital at any point, the order is as follows: the sale moves to the next transfer window while the restaurant continues to trade and earn; the Yield holding company buys with bank financing; the Group bridges the restaurant to the next window; the operating partner buys the restaurant at the formula price; or an approved third party buys it at the formula price, subject to consent to the transfer of the franchise. If none of these routes is available, the restaurant stays in the portfolio and pays out operating cash flow, so during that period the investor receives income instead of a return of capital.

Below is an illustration of the cash flow for an investment of EUR 5,000 (five bonds of EUR 1,000 each). It shows the mechanics under the assumptions of the current model and is not a promise of return; actual amounts and timing may differ, including the possibility of losing part or all of the principal.

Step 1 – Payment (day 0). You pay EUR 5,000. There is no entry fee or subscription cost; an SKDD account is opened free of charge if you do not have one.

Step 2 – Bond phase (from registration with SKDD to conversion). You receive fixed interest, accrued from the date the bonds are registered to your account. Interest is not taxable for individuals. Example: at 8% a year, that is EUR 200 every six months.

Step 3 – Conversion at your request. You can request conversion no later than 30 months from registration of the issue. The number of stakes or shares depends on the value of the company as set by an independent valuer, by 31 December 2027 at the latest. While the company is a d.o.o., conversion involves a notary public.

Step 4 – Build and bedding-in (about 18 to 30 months per location). There are no payments in this phase. The company meets its costs (management, audit, register) from its own share of the sales realised and publishes them once a year; it charges investors no entry, management or exit fee.

Step 5 – Return (gradually, in several instalments). As restaurants are sold, the company announces share buyback offers and pays a dividend on the remainder. Tax: a sale of shares in a buyback offer after a holding period of two years is generally not taxable for individuals; before that, tax is 12% on the gain; withholding tax of 12% is applied to the dividend.

When is the principal returned? You generally receive the principal through the first buyback offers after the first sales, which under the model is about three years from payment, and the remainder through further sales in the same cycle. The exact course depends on when each location is sold.

EUR 5,000. For larger amounts, there is an offer with a minimum subscription of EUR 50,000 and interest of 10% a year. For professional investors, the Group is preparing to establish an alternative investment fund (AIF) in the Netherlands. The fund has not yet been established, its establishment depends on approval from the competent authority and it is not part of this offer.

The offer is made without a prospectus, with notification to the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA). HANFA has neither reviewed nor approved the offer or the offer documents. The bonds are registered with SKDD.

General questions

Anyone interested, whether an individual or a legal entity, can send an enquiry through the expression of interest form. An enquiry is for information only, does not constitute an application to invest and creates no obligation for you or for Koykan.

Our team answers every enquiry personally. Where needed, we talk through your questions and explain how each capital channel works.

Yes. Every investment carries risk, including the risk of partial or total loss of the amount invested. Koykan is in a growth phase and operates in a demanding environment. Before making any decision, familiarise yourself with the risks described on the Risks page. We give no guarantees of return; every indication of return describes mechanics, not a promise.

How you exit depends on the channel. A bond has a term and is paid out at maturity; equity channels realise a return through dividends, share buyback programmes, trading on an exchange where the shares are listed, and long-term strategic scenarios. An investment is generally long-term in nature and liquidity may be limited.

The tax treatment depends on the type of instrument and on your personal status. As a general rule, capital gains for individuals are not taxable after a holding period of two years; this is general information, not tax advice. Koykan does not provide tax advice; for your own situation, we recommend consulting a tax adviser.

Koykan Capital is not an investment firm or a crowdfunding platform and has no authorisation from the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA). The bond offers on this page are made without a prospectus; HANFA has neither reviewed nor approved them. Details are set out in the legal notice.

Yes, you can. The website is aimed at Croatian investors and active advertising is carried out in Croatia, but we receive and record any enquiry you make on your own initiative, whatever your jurisdiction. In our reply, our team will explain which options apply to your situation.

No. Neither an enquiry nor a conversation with the team creates an obligation. The decision on whether to continue is yours, at your own pace, once you have all the information you need.
