YOUNG is an entrepreneurial ecosystem of companies, brands and assets operating across areas including real estate, hospitality, workspaces, development and media. The businesses operate independently but are connected through the wider YOUNG ecosystem.

YOUNG generates income through different businesses and assets. Income can come from operating companies, rents, licensing, services, development activities, advertising and other commercial activities. The long-term objective is to continue increasing recurring income and earning power across the ecosystem.

Compounding means using today’s earning power to build more earning power for tomorrow. Capital generated within the ecosystem can be retained and reinvested into existing businesses, new companies, productive assets or reducing financing costs. Those investments can create additional income, which can then be reinvested again.

No. Real estate is an important foundation within YOUNG, but the wider vision is to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem of companies, brands, assets, customers and communities.

Because they can strengthen one another. Media creates reach. Hospitality creates customers and experiences. Workspaces connect entrepreneurs. Community creates relationships. Relationships create opportunities. The ecosystem can therefore create value beyond what the individual companies could create independently.

YOUNG is built with a long-term ownership mindset. The strategy does not depend on selling the entire group within a fixed period.

A Co-Owner Certificate represents an economic interest in YOUNG through the applicable ownership structure. It allows a Co-Owner to participate economically in the long-term development of YOUNG without directly operating the underlying companies.

A Co-Owner Certificate currently costs —. Selected groups can receive preferential terms.

Co-Ownership is not being built to finance ordinary day-to-day operations. YOUNG companies are expected to operate sustainably. Additional Co-Owner capital can create greater flexibility to accelerate attractive investments and opportunities.

Yes. Selected groups, including employees and others close to the ecosystem, can receive preferential terms where a specific programme provides for them. The terms that apply are the ones set out in the applicable participation documentation.

No. Future values are not guaranteed. YOUNG’s strategy is focused on increasing earning power and long-term value, but certificate values may increase or decrease.

YOUNG’s current philosophy prioritises reinvestment and long-term value creation over short-term distributions. Capital retained inside the ecosystem can be used to strengthen businesses and build additional future earning power.

For selected Co-Owner programmes, the applicable participation terms can include a Guaranteed Repurchase Option. Where this is contractually included, YOUNG commits to provide the Co-Owner with a defined opportunity to sell eligible certificates back to YOUNG in accordance with the agreed terms. The exact timing, price mechanism, eligibility and other conditions are set out in the applicable Co-Owner documentation.

Not necessarily. The repurchase option applies only where it is expressly included in the applicable participation programme or agreement.

No. YOUNG Co-Owner Certificates are not currently publicly traded. A potential secondary mechanism may be explored in the future.

All participants receive the applicable standard information and documentation. For participations of €10,000 or more, an NDA is signed and additional financial information and more detailed YOUNG documentation, including the relevant Investment Memorandum, becomes available.

YOUNG Club is the membership layer of the ecosystem. It connects members to YOUNG places, people and opportunities: the hotels, workspaces, restaurants and coffee bars, the gatherings that happen inside them, and the entrepreneurs who use them.

No. People can join YOUNG Club through other parts of the ecosystem, including YOUNG Deals.

Co-Ownership and YOUNG Club are designed to work together, and Co-Owners are connected to the Club environment through YOUNG ID. Which benefits apply depends on the applicable programme and membership level.

YOUNG ID is the personal identity connecting a member across YOUNG services. It can bring together Deals, Loyalty, Club benefits and Co-Ownership information in one environment.

The YOUNG Foundation is the giving side of the wider YOUNG ecosystem. It sits alongside the commercial companies with its own purpose, its own activities and its own governance, and it is presented on its own website.

Indirectly. A stronger ecosystem builds more capacity to support the Foundation over time. Co-Ownership is not structured as a donation, and it should not be presented as one.

Not necessarily. Co-Ownership and the Foundation are connected through the wider YOUNG ecosystem, but a certificate purchase should not be described as a direct donation unless a specific programme is structured that way.

No. Co-Ownership represents an economic participation in a private company and involves risk. Certificate values may increase or decrease and liquidity may be limited. A Guaranteed Repurchase Option, where contractually provided, is a separate contractual feature and does not mean that the value of the certificate itself is guaranteed to increase.

The platform should contain a dedicated documentation area containing the relevant participation documents, terms and risk information.

The STAK holds the relevant shares and issues certificates representing the associated economic interests. This separates economic participation from the legal ownership and governance of the underlying shares.

For participations of €10,000 or more, an NDA is signed and an additional information layer becomes available, including more detailed financial information about YOUNG and the relevant Investment Memorandum. Detailed financial data should therefore not be published on the public platform.
