Aumann AG resolves on capital increase from authorized capital

 

Beelen, 04 December 2017

Aumann AG ("Aumann", ISIN: DE000A2DAM03) plans a capital increase against cash contributions in order to continue its growth strategy.

The Management Board of Aumann AG has resolved, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by up to 1,250,000 shares. Shareholders' subscription rights are excluded in accordance with Section 186 (3) sentence 4 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The capital increase shall be made against cash contributions and under partial utilisation of the existing authorized capital of EUR 6,250,000 pursuant to Art. 4 (5) of the Company's articles of association. The Company's share capital shall thus be increased from EUR 14,000,000 to up to EUR 15,250,000 through the issue of new bearer shares (no-par value shares). The new shares will carry full dividend rights for the financial year 2017 and will carry the same rights as the existing shares. The new shares shall be admitted to trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The new shares will be offered for purchase exclusively to institutional investors in a private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process, which starts immediately following the publication of this notice.

The net proceeds from the capital increase shall be used for further growth of the company, especially through acquisitions. Aumann continues to see attractive M&A opportunities to increase capacity and further accelerate its growth in the e-mobility segment. Furthermore, the company plans to grow the sites in Berlin, China and the US.

Berenberg and Citigroup are acting as Joint Global Coordinators in the transaction and together with Hauck & Aufhäuser as Joint Bookrunners. Aumann AG has agreed to a 180-day lock-up with the underwriting banks subject to standard market exceptions. The first trading day of the new shares is scheduled for 7 December 2017.
