Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 11, 2026, Cimpress plc (the "Company") entered into a definitive agreement with CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA to acquire its SAXOPRINT and viaprinto businesses, which will be part of the Company's PrintBrothers segment. Collectively, these businesses generated €89.6 million in revenue in calendar year 2025 with approximately 10% EBITDA margins. The Company's net cash outflow for the transaction is expected to be less than €80 million after anticipated asset sales and the Company expects the acquisition, inclusive of significant synergies, to generate base case returns on capital well in excess of 20%. The Company also expects the transaction to enhance its per-share free cash flow as it executes against its previously announced FY2028 financial targets without changing its established plans to meaningfully reduce net leverage over the next two fiscal years.
The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approval, and is expected to close in the first half of the Company's fiscal year 2027.
A copy of the Company's press release issued on May 11, 2026 announcing the acquisition is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
The information in this Item 7.01 and the exhibit to this report is not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is it incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from the statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including risks related to the satisfaction of closing conditions, receipt of antitrust approval, completion of anticipated asset sales, integration of the acquired businesses, realization of expected synergies and financial benefits, market conditions and the risks and uncertainties referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to such statements to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any changes in the events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
