Amsterdam, 25 September 2026 --- AMG Critical Materials N.V. (EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: "AMG") has published an Annex IX information document tied to a secondary listing of its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the company announced on 25 September 2026. The listing moves under Article 1(5)(ba) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, the Prospectus Regulation. Trading under the ticker ADG is expected to begin on 30 September 2026. AMG confirmed it will not issue or offer new shares in Frankfurt, and Euronext Amsterdam remains the primary listing.
Context — Why a Frankfurt Secondary Listing Matters Now
The company first signalled the Frankfurt move on 24 August 2026, roughly a month before the Annex IX document appeared. That gap matters: it gives the Dutch regulator and the exchange time to process the filing before the first trade date. The company said the intention to apply for the listing was announced on that August date.
The structure of the listing is what separates it from a capital raise. AMG stated it does not plan to issue or offer any new shares in connection with the Frankfurt listing. Existing shares simply gain a second venue, which means no dilution and no new cash into the business.
Euronext Amsterdam keeps primary listing status. That is the detail that anchors the corporate structure: governance, reporting and the main liquidity pool stay in the Netherlands, while Frankfurt adds a second order book for European investors who prefer to trade domestically.
The document was also filed with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. Filing with the home regulator is what allows the Annex IX route rather than a full prospectus.
For a materials company, a second European venue is less about raising money and more about widening the shareholder register. AMG's businesses sit across lithium, vanadium and advanced metallurgy, sectors where European industrial and defence-linked investors are active buyers.
Data — What the Filing Discloses
The concrete numbers in the announcement are operational rather than financial. AMG operates with approximately 3,500 employees globally, with production facilities in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, China, Mexico, Brazil and India. The company also runs sales and customer service offices in Japan.
The timeline is the second hard data point. Filing on 25 September 2026, first trading expected 30 September 2026 — a five-day window between publication and the anticipated debut. The company gave both dates.

| Information document | Annex IX, Prospectus Regulation |

The segment structure is the third set of facts. AMG's Lithium segment spans the lithium value chain. Its Vanadium segment is described as the world's market leader in recycling vanadium from oil refining residues, covering vanadium, molybdenum, titanium and chrome. The Technologies segment is the established world market leader in advanced metallurgy and supplies equipment engineering to the aerospace engine sector globally. That segment also houses LIVA batteries, NewMOX SAS, formed to span the nuclear fuel market, and mineral processing in antimony.
The company did not disclose financial terms, share counts, expected Frankfurt volumes or any pricing details in the release. It also did not state the number of shares to be admitted.
Analysis — What It Means for Markets and Sectors
The Frankfurt listing puts AMG in front of a different investor base without changing its capital structure. German institutional funds that prefer domestic venues gain a direct route to the shares, and that can matter for a company whose production footprint is heavily German, British and French.
The ticker choice is worth noting for order-routing purposes. ADG on Frankfurt is a separate line from AMG on Euronext Amsterdam, so desks trading the name need to confirm which venue they are hitting. Secondary listings of this type usually trade at a small spread to the primary market, though the company gave no indication of expected liquidity.
Second-order effects run through the segments the company named. Lithium, vanadium and antimony are critical-materials categories where European industrial policy has pushed buyers toward regional suppliers. Aerospace engine metallurgy ties AMG to a customer base that plans orders years ahead. Nuclear fuel exposure via NewMOX SAS adds a second regulated end market.
The main limitation is that this is a venue change, not a capital event. No new shares means no new funding for the lithium, vanadium or battery businesses. Investors looking for a growth catalyst will not find one in the listing mechanics themselves.
Positioning is likely to stay anchored in Amsterdam. The company was explicit that Euronext Amsterdam continues as the primary listing, which means the deeper book, the index membership and the main flow remain there. Frankfurt adds reach, not depth.
Outlook — What to Watch Next
The first catalyst is the anticipated first day of trading on 30 September 2026. Whether ADG opens in line with the Amsterdam line is the cleanest read on how much incremental demand the Frankfurt venue actually brings.
The second is any follow-up disclosure from the company on Frankfurt trading volumes or index eligibility. The release did not address either, so any such detail would be new information.
A third item is the broader critical-materials backdrop. AMG's segments touch lithium, vanadium, molybdenum, titanium, chrome, antimony and nuclear fuel. Moves in those end markets, or in European industrial policy toward domestic suppliers, feed through to the equity story independently of the listing.
There are no price levels to cite from the release. The company gave no share price, no valuation and no target. Investors watching the debut should treat the Amsterdam quote as the reference point until Frankfurt establishes its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AMG Frankfurt listing mean for existing shareholders?
Existing holders keep the same shares. AMG stated it will not issue or offer new shares in connection with the Frankfurt listing, so there is no dilution and no change to the share count. Euronext Amsterdam remains the primary listing, and the company's ticker there is unchanged. The Frankfurt line, trading as ADG, is an additional venue rather than a replacement, so the corporate structure and reporting obligations stay anchored in the Netherlands.
When does AMG start trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange?
The company said the first day of trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected to be 30 September 2026. The Annex IX information document was published on 25 September 2026, giving a five-day gap between filing and the anticipated debut. The shares will trade under the ticker symbol ADG. The company noted that the exact timing depends on the exchange's processes, and it did not disclose expected opening volumes or prices.
Why did AMG use an Annex IX document instead of a full prospectus?
AMG published the document under Article 1(5)(ba) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, the Prospectus Regulation. The Annex IX route applies to certain secondary listings where no new securities are being offered, which fits AMG's situation since it is not issuing or offering new shares in Frankfurt. The document was filed with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets as the competent authority.
Bottom Line
AMG's Frankfurt secondary listing adds a second European venue under ticker ADG without issuing new shares or diluting holders.
