Rex Concepts joins the list of companies listed on the Main Market of the WSE

Rex Concepts, a company managing Burger King and Popeyes restaurants in Central and Eastern Europe, has made its debut on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). This marks the sixth debut on the WSE regulated market in 2026 and makes Rex Concepts the 401st company listed on the WSE Main Market.

Rex Concepts is a Polish company headquartered in Wrocław, specializing in the management of Burger King and Popeyes restaurant chains in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania. The company listed its ordinary shares on the WSE Main Market following a public offering comprising both the sale of existing shares and the issuance of new shares. The total value of Rex Concepts’ public offering amounted to PLN 497.8 million, of which PLN 448 million represented proceeds raised by the company from the new share issue. The issue and sale price was set at PLN 14 per share. The transaction was supported by Wood & Company Financial Services and Pekao Investment Banking as global co‑coordinators, alongside Ipopema Securities and Pekao Brokerage House, which also acted as the stabilizing manager.

- This is a special day and a remarkable IPO for the Exchange and for me personally. It is one of the largest debuts in recent months and an impressive case study of rapid growth by a company founded just a few years ago, now raising nearly PLN 500 million on the stock exchange. It sends a clear signal to entrepreneurs in Poland and across Europe that with a strong idea, a solid concept, and a capable team, growth capital can be successfully raised on the public market – said Tomasz Bardziłowski, President of the Management Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Rex Concepts has been operating since 2021 as a quick service restaurant (QSR) platform in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2022, the company secured financing and obtained master franchisee status for the Burger King and Popeyes brands in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania. As of the end of 2025, the Group operated 94 company‑owned Burger King restaurants and 65 company‑owned Popeyes restaurants. In addition, 96 Burger King restaurants were operated by independent sub‑franchisees. In the first quarter of 2026, the company opened a further 12 new restaurants.

- Today’s debut is not only a symbolic milestone, but above all the beginning of the next stage of our growth. The capital raised will allow us to accelerate the execution of our ambitious plans and strengthen our market position. Investors’ confidence in us and in our strategy, reflected in the full subscription of the offered shares and the raising by the company of nearly PLN 450 million for our intended goals, is a strong motivation for us to continue working hard and creating value for our shareholders, partners, and customers – said Olgierd Danielewicz, Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rex Concepts.

The proceeds from the share issuance will be used to further expand the restaurant network, including the opening of approximately 70 new locations in 2026, as well as to introduce new brands, pursue market consolidation opportunities, and support geographic expansion.

- We are extremely proud of Rex Concepts’ stock market debut. Driven by the consistent execution of Company’s strategy and the tremendous commitment of the entire team!. The best lies ahead, with significant potential in the company’s growth - emphasized Henry McGovern, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Rex Concepts.
