In return, DMG MORI SEIKI CO., LTD. and the bidder agreed that all shareholders accepting the offer will receive an additional amount of EUR 0.55 per share. This amount is equivalent to the dividend to be proposed for adoption at the annual general meeting on 8 May 2015. The offer price that is offered as part of the tender offer has thus been increased from the most recent price of EUR 30.00 to EUR 30.55, which is equivalent to a premium of 43.0% on the volume-weighted average stock price (three months before publication of the offer) or of 21.4% on the most recent stock exchange price before publication of the offer. As a result of these changes, the tender period is extended until 25 March 2015. In the opinion of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board the agreed changes will ensure the success of the offer in order to achieve the objectives pursued with the offer by both sides. DMG MORI SEIKI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT has also been informed this afternoon, that DMG MORI SEIKI CO., LTD. has acquired in over-the-counter trades shares in an amount which will lead to an exceeding of the new participation threshold.
