Kleeblatt-Anleihe: Investing in the Legacy and Future of SC Rot-Weiß Oberhausen

SC Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, with almost 120 years of history, invites investors to be part of its journey with the Kleeblatt-Anleihe. As a successful club with a yearly turnover of approximately €3.5 million in 2023, stable revenue growth since the 2019/2020 season, and positive results, RWO is a tradition-rich football club aiming for a short- to medium-term ascent to the paid professional football arena, specifically the 3. Liga.

The Kleeblatt-Anleihe is a subordinated bond with a nominal amount of EUR 250 per unit and a minimum subscription of 1 unit. The issue volume is €2,000,000, and the maturity is set for June 30, 2031. Investors can expect a fixed interest rate of 4% per annum, with bonus payments linked to sporting achievements, including promotion to the 3. Liga, survival in the 3. Liga, and winning the Niederrheinpokal (Association Cup).

Founded on December 18, 1904, RWO boasts a rich history, including four years in the 1. Bundesliga and over two decades in the 2. Bundesliga, making it one of Germany's most tradition-rich football clubs. Currently competing in the Regionalliga West, RWO aspires to return to professional football in the short to medium term.

RWO is a prominent team in Regionalliga West, excelling both in sports and spectator interest. Regularly advancing to the final rounds of the Verbandspokal (Niederrheinpokal), winning this cup grants access to the DFB-Pokal. The club's youth teams consistently compete in top divisions, producing talents like Max Meyer, Gideon Jung, Justin Heekeren, and Chris Führich, who have all played for RWO.

Expanding beyond professional football, RWO now includes women's football, handball, and endurance sports, deeply rooted in Oberhausen and the region.

The Kleeblatt-Anleihe is for those seeking medium- to long-term investments, believing in RWO's success, and wanting to be part of the journey with the Kleeblätter. This subordinated bond offers an annual interest rate of 4.0%, with additional bonus payments based on the club's sporting success each calendar year.

Investors can earn 4% for promotion and licensing to the 3. Liga, 2% annually for 3. Liga survival, and 3% annually for winning the Verbandspokal (Niederrheinpokal).

The ongoing 2023/24 season holds exciting possibilities for the Kleeblätter, including potential bonus interest for investors. As they aim for a 3. Liga license for the 2024/25 season and reach the Niederrheinpokal semi-finals, red-white investors may enjoy bonus interest as early as 2024.
