subsidiaries, "NFON" or the "Group"), the only pan-European cloud PBX
provider, has set the final offer price for its shares at EUR 12.00 per
share. In total, 6,708,331 shares including an over-allotment of 874,999
shares were placed.
The Company will use the net proceeds from the issuance of 4,166,666 new
shares to a large extent to fund its growth strategy. NFON intends to invest
in the continued expansion in Europe with a particular focus on France and
Italy and to expand the business in the Netherlands. Additionally, the
Company plans to invest in R&D such as product development with the aim of
rolling out additional services and solutions. Moreover, investments are
planned in intensified marketing activities to drive penetration of existing
customers and attract new customers in the markets in which NFON is already
present.
In addition to the new shares, 2,541,665 ordinary shares from existing
shareholders, including an over-allotment option of 874,999 shares, were
placed. Assuming the full exercise of the greenshoe option, the total
placement volume amounts to approximately EUR 80.5 million.
Based on the final offer price, NFON's total market capitalization amounts
to approximately EUR 166 million. Subject to a full exercise of the
greenshoe option, the free float will amount to approximately 43.5%.
Hans Szymanski, CEO and CFO of NFON AG: "We look forward to continuing our
successful growth story as a listed company. The positive feedback we
received from investors over the past few weeks has given us an additional
boost. We will continue to devote all our energy and passion to shape the
future of business communication. In doing so, NFON will benefit even more
than before from the disruptive changes in the European market for business
communication."
The anchor shareholder Milestone Venture Capital GmbH exercised its right
for a preferential allocation by subscribing for 707.212 shares in the IPO
in order to secure a stake of 30.1% post-IPO.

Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) under the securities
identification number (WKN) A0N4N5, the international securities
identification number (ISIN) DE000A0N4N52 and the trading symbol "NFN" on 11

the Company's shares during the Stabilisation Period. These measures may
result in the market price of the Company's shares being higher than would
otherwise have been the case. Moreover, the market price may temporarily be
at an unsustainable level.
