Zalando SE successfully places EUR 1 billion convertible bonds

BERLIN, JULY 30, 2020 // Zalando SE, Europe's leading online platform for fashion and lifestyle ("Zalando" or the "Company", ISIN: DE000ZAL1111, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: ZAL) placed two tranches ("Tranche A" and "Tranche B") of unsubordinated, unsecured convertible bonds with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 500 million due on or around 6 August 2025 (Tranche A) and with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 500 million due on or around 6 August 2027 (Tranche B) (the "Bonds"). The Bonds in a denomination of EUR 100,000 each will be convertible into new and/or existing no-par value ordinary bearer shares of Zalando (the "Shares").

The proceeds from the issue of the Bonds will be used to support the company's continued growth strategy, to pursue strategic opportunities that may arise and for general corporate purposes.

Convertible Bonds

The Bonds of Tranche A were priced at 100.88% of their principal amount with an annual coupon of 0.05% p.a. corresponding to an annual gross yield to maturity of -0.125% p.a. The Bonds of Tranche B were priced at 100% of their principal amount with an annual coupon of 0.625% p.a. corresponding to an annual gross yield to maturity of 0.625% p.a. The initial conversion price amounts to EUR 87.6375 (Tranche A) and EUR 92.25 (Tranche B), respectively, representing a conversion premium of 42.5% (Tranche A) and 50.0% (Tranche B), respectively, above the reference price of EUR 61.50 (i.e. the placement price per share determined in the concurrent offering of existing shares (as described below)). Unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the Bonds of each Tranche will be redeemed at their principal amount at their respective maturity.

The Bonds were offered by way of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure to institutional investors outside the United States of America (the "United States") as well as outside of Australia, Japan, South Africa and any other jurisdiction in which offers or sales of the Bonds would be prohibited by applicable law (the "Offering"). The pre-emptive rights (Bezugsrechte) of existing shareholders of the Company to subscribe for the Bonds are excluded.

The Bonds are expected to be settled on or around 6 August 2020. Following the closing and settlement of the Offering and the issuance of the Bonds, the Company intends to arrange for the Bonds to be admitted to trading on the Open Market Segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The Company may redeem all, but not some only, of the outstanding Bonds at their principal amount plus accrued interest with effect (i) on or after 27 August 2023 (Tranche A) and on or after 27 August 2025 (Tranche B), respectively, if the price of the Company's share is equal to or exceeds 130% (Tranche A) and 150% (Tranche B) , respectively, of the prevailing conversion price within a certain period, or (ii) if less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the relevant Tranche originally issued are outstanding.

The Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of EUR 1,004.4 million from the two Tranches of Bonds.

As part of the transactions, the Company has agreed to a lock-up period of 90 days, subject to customary exemptions.

J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley acted as Joint Global Coordinators and, together with BNP Paribas and UniCredit, as Joint Bookrunners on the transaction.

Concurrent Offering of Existing Shares by the Joint Bookrunners

The Joint Bookrunners have concurrently placed approximately 2.80 million existing shares of the Company on behalf of buyers of the Bonds who wished to sell such shares in short sales to hedge the market risk of an investment in the Bonds at a placement price of EUR 61.50 per share. The Company will not receive any proceeds from such placement.
