The management of SV Werder Bremen GmbH & Co KG, the trading company of Werder Bremen (Bundesliga), has issued a €20m corporate bond for the 2025-2030 cycle, announced the club on 29/04/2025.

The initiative, which has been approved by the supervisory board, is "aimed at private and institutional investors", with interest rates set at between 5.75% and 6.25% and a unit value of €1,000. The subscription period runs from 02 to 22/05/2025.

"In addition to refinancing the first Werder bond for 2021-2026, the bond serves to secure important infrastructure projects in the Pauliner Marsch (the area of Bremen where the club's training centre is located). It is also intended to enable investments in growth areas such as women's football, digitalisation and artificial intelligence," explained the club.

The club, which issued bonds for the 2021-2026 cycle following its relegation to the 2.Bundesliga at the end of the 2020-21 season, is offering bondholders the opportunity to exchange them for new bonds. Those who accept this offer will receive compensation of €10 per bond exchanged.
