Berlin, 9 March 2017 - MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a medium-sized family
business, seeks listing of its subsidiary Aumann AG on the regulated market
(Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 24 March 2017. Aumann is
a leading manufacturer of innovative specialised machinery and automated
production lines with focus on e-mobility. Before the IPO, MBB SE holds
93.5% of the share capital in the company and Mr. Ingo Wojtynia holds 6.5%.
The intended offering comprises 1.5 million new shares from a capital
increase and 3.7 million secondary shares from the current shareholders of
which c. 3.5 million shares come from MBB SE. Additionally, there will be a
potential overallotment by the current shareholders of 780,000 shares of
which MBB will contribute 729,300 shares. The share capital of Aumann after
the transaction will increase up to 14 million shares without par value. The
price range was set between EUR35 and EUR43 per share. The free float after
the IPO will amount up to 46.4% after the end of the lock up period. MBB SE
will hold 53.6% of Aumann's shares assuming the full placement of all shares
and exercise in full of the greenshoe option. The basis of the offering will
be a prospectus with detailed information regarding the IPO. The approval of
the prospectus by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is
expected on Friday, 10 March 2017. The expected primary gross IPO proceeds
of c. EUR59 million (at mid-point of the price range) allow the funding of
Aumann's capacity expansion given the expected dynamic growth backed by the
strong demand for e-mobility solutions. MBB expects gross proceeds of EUR
163 million (at the mid-point of the price range) assuming placement of the
full greenshoe.
Aumann has started 2017 very positively. According to preliminary unaudited
figures, the company generated revenues of EUR32.9 million and an EBIT of
EUR4.1 million until 28 February 2017 which corresponds to an EBIT margin of
12.6%. This represents to a revenue increase of 64% compared to the same
period in 2016 (revenues: EUR20.1 million) and an EBIT increase of 90%
compared to the same period in 2016 (EBIT: EUR2.2 million). The revenue
share of the E-mobility segment in the first two months of 2017 amounted to
28%. The EBIT margin of the E-mobility segment increased again to 18.0%
compared to 17.1% for the full year 2016. The order intake of already
EUR37.5 million until 9 March 2017 is very positive for this time of the
year.
