Notice Relating to Notes Issued by Fresenius Medical Care AG issued on December 18, 2024.

 

Exhibit 99.2

List of USD Denominated 144A/Reg S Notes

 

On December 18, 2024, Fresenius Medical Care AG (the Company) notified the holders of various issues of EURO-denominated notes issued by the Company under its €10 billion debt issuance program (together, the EMTN Notes) that Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. (FMCH), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is no longer an obligor under the Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility (the SCF), and that the termination of FMCH’s obligor status under the SCF automatically and unconditionally terminated FMCH’s guarantee of the EMTN Notes. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the EMTN Notes, the Company notified the holders by delivery of such notice of termination of the FMCH guarantee to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LSE), on which the EMTN Notes are listed. A copy of the Company’s notification to the LSE is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

Termination of FMCH as an obligor under the SCF also released and relieved FMCH from all of its obligations under its guarantees of four issues of US$-denominated notes (the 144A/Reg S Notes), as provided in Section 10.3 of the respective indentures under which the 144A/Reg S Notes were issued. A list of such 144A/Reg S Notes is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.
