Oberkirch, May 15, 2012 – The Management Board of Progress-Werk
Oberkirch AG determined today, with the approval of the Supervisory
Board, the final volume of the capital increase by way of a
subscription rights offering for contribution in cash resolved on
April 23, 2012. Accordingly, the company’s nominal share capital will
be raised at a subscription ratio of 4:1 from EUR 7,500,000.00 by EUR
1,875,000.00 to EUR 9,375,000.00 through the issue of 625,000 new
no-par value bearer shares each corresponding to EUR 3.00 of the
nominal capital. This means that the capital increase has been
carried through to its full extent. The implementation of the capital
increase is expected to be entered into the commercial register on
May 16, 2012. The new shares will be included in the existing share
listing presumably on May 29, 2012.
Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG will receive gross proceeds of roughly EUR
22.8 million from the capital increase. These proceeds are planned to
be invested in the company’s further growth. Landesbank
Baden-Württemberg was mandated to act as lead manager, and Silvia
Quandt & Cie. AG was mandated to act as co-lead manager for the
