MBB SE subsidiary Aumann AG plans IPO
- Aumann, a leading supplier of production lines for e-mobility
solutions, should profit from the growing demand for vehicles based on
e-drivetrains
- Therefore, Aumann plans listing on the Prime Standard of Frankfurt
Stock Exchange during the first half of 2017 as well as a capital
increase with primary proceeds of around EUR60 million to finance the
expected growth
- Planned secondary offering by MBB should allow for a free float of 40-
47% ; MBB will remain majority shareholder
- Berenberg, Citigroup as well as Hauck & Aufhäuser support the IPO
Berlin, 27 February 2017 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized
family business, seeks an IPO of its subsidiary Aumann AG within the first
half of 2017.
Aumann is a leading manufacturer of innovative specialised machinery and
automated production lines with focus on e-mobility. The company combines
unique winding technology for highly efficient manufacturing of electric
motors with decades of automation experience, particularly for the
automotive industry. According to own assessment, Aumann's technology
enables the company to profit from the accelerating demand for e-drivetrain
concepts in the automotive industry. In 2016, Aumann generated revenues of
EUR156 million and an EBIT margin of 12.4% (adjusted for MBB management
fee) which equals a revenue growth of 28% compared to the previous year. In
addition, an order intake of EUR190 million in 2016 indicates further
growth. Aumann has locations in Beelen, Espelkamp, Hennigsdorf, Changzhou
(China) and Kansas City (USA) and around 600 employees. Before the IPO, MBB
SE holds 93.5% of the share capital in the company and Mr. Ingo Wojtynia
holds 6.5%.
Today, the supervisory board and the executive management of MBB SE have
decided to pursue a listing of Aumann AG in the regulated market (Prime
Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The envisaged IPO shall
strengthen Aumann's leading market position and create a solid basis to
serve the strongly growing market demand. The offer shall consist of new
Aumann shares from a capital increase with primary proceeds of around EUR60
million to be invested primarily in the extension of capacities. In
addition, the offering also comprises shares from the existing shareholders
to allow for a free float of 40% to 47%. MBB will remain majority
shareholder after the IPO. Aumann plans to pay out 25-30% of net profits as
dividends in the future.
The existing shareholders plan also to provide secondary shares for a
potential overallotment in the amount of up to 15% of the base transaction.
Furthermore, it is planned to agree on a lock up period of
6 months for the existing shareholders and the company. It is also planned
to agree on a lock up period of 12 months with the company's top management
which will hold approximately 0.5% of the share capital after capital
increase in the IPO.
Berenberg and Citigroup act as Joint Global Coordinators and together with
Hauck & Aufhäuser as Joint Bookrunners.
