euromicron AG successfully completes stock placement
The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of euromicron AG decided today to increase the capital stock of the company by a total of 1,537,800 registered shares with an entitlement to a share in profits as of January 1, 2011, in exchange for cash contributions.
As part of the offer for subscription that was concluded as scheduled on November 28, 2011, the shareholders of euromicron AG have taken up all 1,537,800 new shares by exercising their subscription rights or by acquiring additional shares. The ratio at which the rights to subscribe to 1,106,891 shares were exercised was 72%, meaning 430,909 (approximately 28%) new shares were available for additional acquisition. Applications for additional acquisition of a total of 1,221,237 new shares were submitted. Due to this high oversubscription, every valid application for additional acquisition of shares will receive around 35,29 percent.
The proceeds from the capital increase of around €24.6 million will mainly be used to strengthen the capital structure, increase the equity ratio and reduce borrowings from interim financing of the acquisition of telent GmbH and so enhance euromicron’s financial flexibility.
When the capital increase is entered in the commercial register, which is expected to be done on December 1, 2011, the company’s capital stock will increase to €17,037,017.44 and the total number of shares issued by it to 6,663,799. The new shares are expected to be delivered and billed on Monday, December 5, 2011, but at the earliest after they have been admitted to listing on the stock exchange.
The capital increase and the process for admitting and including the shares in official stock market trading, for which no prospectus has been issued, is accompanied by equinet Bank AG.
