Clean and safe drinking / water as a growth market for blueplanet water 
The inflow of funds from the bond will be used to establish and expand the "blueplanet water" division, one of three 
business areas of blueplanet AG. "blueplanet water" specialises in the treatment of contaminated groundwater, 
wastewater, sewage, rainwater and drinking water to produce clean and safe drinking/water. The aim is to contribute to 
the global improvement of drinking water quality and to enable access to clean water, among others in poor countries 
and catastrophe regions. 
The net proceeds from the Green Bond are to be invested in the development and production of mobile water treatment 
plants for the disinfection of contaminated groundwater, wastewater, dirty water, rainwater and drinking water. It is 
planned to build up a fleet of initially 30 mobile water treatment plants, which will be rented primarily by 
foundations, aid organisations as well as selected governments. The overall planning of the fleet amounts to 75 mobile 
water treatment plants in the medium to long term. In addition, the construction of further national and international 
production plants for water disinfectants, among other things, is planned. 
Strong track record through successful development of the hygiene sector 
blueplanet's business model stands for the development and improvement of environmentally sustainable products and 
responsible business practises. The company has three wholly owned subsidiaries that develop and produce sustainable 
solutions in the areas of hygiene "blueplanet hygiene", clean and safe drinking water "blueplanet water" and improving 
the global food supply "blueplanet food". The basis for all three areas is an electrochemical process in which highly 
efficient, non-toxic, pH neutral and very long-lasting solutions are obtained, which can be used in different 
concentrations for a variety of applications. The effectiveness against bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores is >99.99% 
in each case. The company is already internationally successful in the area of "blueplanet hygiene". Areas of 
application include the disinfection of hotels and aircraft fleets, rental cars, public transport and the health 
sector. 
According to preliminary figures, blueplanet AG's consolidated revenue more than quadrupled from EUR 7.5 million in 
2019 to over EUR 30 million in 2020. At the same time, an EBIT margin of over 40 percent was achieved according to 
preliminary figures for 2020. The sales of the "blueplanet hygiene" business area with solutions for surface or 
interior disinfection contributed primarily to this. 
"blueplanet is in a strong growth phase. Our business unit blueplanet hygiene has developed brilliantly over the past 
few years," explains Alexander Lattmann, CEO of blueplanet AG. "Based on this success story, we now want to expand our 
water business "blueplanet water" with a targeted investment in mobile water treatment." 
Non-harmful and cost-efficient technology 
The basis for the blueplanet product range is an innovative process for disinfection and water treatment based on 
IMEALIT(R) technology (interactive membrane electrochemically activated low ion transfer), in which water and salt are 
essentially electrochemically charged. The result is a disinfecting, antibacterial, virucidal and fungicidal product of 
mineral origin that eliminates germs without leaving residues and without the use of toxic chemicals. The solution 
obtained is long-lasting, highly efficient, health-compatible and pH-neutral. In the future, the IMEALIT(R) technology 
will also be used to obtain clean and safe drinking water at a low price and without any negative environmental impact. 
"With our proven technology and the readily available raw materials for water treatment, we can provide access to 
clean, safe and affordable drinking water worldwide. At the same time, blueplanet can generate attractive returns in 
this area due to its scalability, as the use of our technology is cost-effective," adds Thomas Körfgen, COO of 
blueplanet AG. 
Information regarding the convertible bond will be available on the company's website at www.blueplanetisgreen.com at 
the beginning of the subscription period. A webcast on the bond issue will take place on 16 February 2021 at 11 am.
