Mynaric (ISIN DE000A31C305) is reorganizing its leadership under Rocket Lab ownership, with Andreas Reutter appointed chief executive on September 24, 2026. The change puts order execution, production capacity and next-generation optical communications products at the center of the company's next phase.

New CEO takes operational role

According to Defence Network on September 24, 2026, Mynaric's supervisory board appointed Reutter as CEO. He succeeded co-founder Joachim Horwath, who moved to responsibility for future technologies, while Peter Gräf joined the supervisory board.

Reutter brings more than 25 years of international industrial experience, including positions at Bosch and Stanley Black and Decker, according to Defence Network. The stated priorities are operational efficiency, expanded terminal production and commercialization of future product generations.

Rocket Lab integration sets the scale

Rocket Lab completed its acquisition of all issued Mynaric shares on April 14, 2026, for aggregate consideration of USD 155.30 million, according to the company's 8-K summary published by Stock Titan. The final amount compared with a USD 75.00 million base purchase price and included 2,277,002 Rocket Lab shares, with 109,943 shares placed in escrow.

The transaction gives Rocket Lab control of Mynaric's laser optical communications terminals for air, space and mobile applications. That ownership structure makes production execution more important than a standalone listing narrative, because the leadership mandate now combines Mynaric's technology with Rocket Lab's manufacturing and supply-chain resources.

Small market value, wide range

Mynaric's market capitalization stood at EUR 1.0 million on September 17, 2026, and its 52-week range was EUR 0.37 to EUR 25.40. The spread of EUR 25.03 between the high and low shows how sharply the valuation has varied across the period.

Stock context after the takeover

The latest market snapshot places Mynaric in a transition from independent public company to Rocket Lab subsidiary. Investors are therefore assessing leadership execution, terminal production and the integration of a USD 155.30 million acquisition rather than a new standalone earnings cycle.
