Structured secondary-market access to Mistral AI — Europe's leading frontier AI company and the best-funded LLM builder on the continent. Exclusively for professional investors.
The bonds offered are an entrepreneurial investment with risks. In principle, a total loss of the invested capital cannot be ruled out.
Founded in 2023 by three former DeepMind and Meta researchers, Mistral AI develops open-weight and proprietary large language models — from compact Mistral Small to frontier-grade Mistral Large 2 and Codestral for code — that compete directly with OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini, while running approximately 5x to 30x cheaper depending on the model.
Mistral's distinctive proposition is digital sovereignty: open-weight models that European banks, hospitals, governments, and defense organizations can run on their own infrastructure — without their data leaving their premises. This positioning aligns Mistral with Europe's projected EUR 1.5+ trillion in technology spending in 2026, much of which is shifting away from U.S. hyperscalers toward local, sovereign alternatives.
Following the September 2025 Series C led by ASML (EUR 1.3 billion strategic check) and a USD 830 million debt financing in March 2026 to fund a USD 4+ billion European data-center buildout (200 MW of compute capacity by 2027), Mistral targets EUR 1 billion ARR for 2026 — with a potential IPO on Euronext widely anticipated for 2026/2027.
Mistral AI's last primary financing valued the company at EUR 11.7 billion (~USD 13.7 billion) at its September 2025 Series C, led by ASML. With an annualized revenue run-rate of approximately USD 400 million in 2025 and a EUR 1 billion ARR target for 2026, the current valuation implies a forward revenue multiple of approximately 12–14× — significantly below U.S. AI peers (Perplexity ~30× forward, OpenAI ~40×).

Only the information provided in the issuer's offering documents is decisive for the assessment of the bond.This product is intended exclusively for professional clients as defined by MiFID II. Buyers of a bond assume a significant risk, which can lead to the complete loss of the invested capital. The information provided here is non-binding promotional material and, in its nature and form, expressly does not constitute financial or any other investment advice. The information mentioned in no way replaces investment advice tailored to the investor's circumstances. The issuer expressly points out the following facts: Only the information provided in the issuer's offering documents (Cometum Direct Invest GmbH & Co. KG), i.e., the terms and conditions of the bond and the risk notice, are decisive for the assessment of the bond. None of the information constitutes an invitation to submit an offer to purchase, nor is it an offer to subscribe to or buy the issuer's bond. Cometum is not a bank, but solely an issuer and product provider for exclusive private markets products. This investment does not involve the direct acquisition of Mistral AI shares by the investor, but rather a structured participation that allows participation in the value development of Mistral AI. The information regarding the current valuation of Mistral AI serves informational purposes only. The valuation at which structured participation in Mistral AI takes place may differ from the current market valuation. It does not indicate an indicative entry price from Cometum. The company operates in a highly competitive market environment characterized by regulatory developments and geopolitical uncertainties. The strategic focus is on technology-oriented clients who require innovative solutions and high adaptability. Cometum participates directly or indirectly through one or more investments in special purpose vehicles, which in turn are directly involved with Mistral AI. The Mistral AI bond is therefore an entrepreneurial investment with risks. In principle, a total loss of the invested capital cannot be ruled out. Additional fees may apply at underlying participation levels (management fees, performance fees, exit fees, fees in connection with an IPO). The exact number of Mistral AI shares outstanding is not necessarily publicly known or fixed at the time of investment. Mistral AI may issue additional shares — for example in connection with its IPO, the financing of an acquisition, further financing rounds, or employee participation programmes. Such issuances dilute existing holders: the total number of shares increases, and the proportion of the company attributable to each existing share decreases accordingly. As a result, the valuation at which the structured participation was entered may, in retrospect, prove higher relative to the effective per-share basis and may change to the investor's disadvantage. In particular, the total valuation of the company may increase while the value attributable to an individual share — and therefore to the investor's participation — does not increase to the same extent, or may even decline. The headline valuation figures stated in this material are therefore not a reliable indicator of the value development of the investor's participation, which depends on the per-share value at the relevant point in time. This presentation is a non-binding offer (invitatio ad offerendum) and is for informational purposes only.
