PROVISIONS OF THESE COUNTRIES
The following release has been published as an ad-hoc announcement in
German on March 16, 2016.
_wige MEDIA AG: capital increase fully placed
- Gross issuing proceeds of around EUR 3.3 million
- Issue heavily oversubscribed
- Use of funds earmarked for digitalization and internationalization
_wige MEDIA AG has placed all new shares from the capital increase from
Authorized Capital announced on 26 February 2016. The capital increase was
heavily oversubscribed. Gross issuing proceeds amount to approximately EUR
3.3 million.
During the placement process with shareholder subscription rights from
Authorized Capital, 1,974,206 new no-par value bearer shares representing a
pro rata amount in the share capital of EUR 1.00 per share were issued at a
subscription price of EUR 1.70 per share. Shares purchased outside the
scope of shareholder subscription rights were offered to selected qualified
institutional investors in Germany and other European countries by way of
an invitation not open to the public. The new shares qualify for profit
from 1 January 2015 onwards. The share capital has therefore been raised by
EUR 1,974,206.00 to EUR 14,726,329.
Entry of the capital increase into the commercial register of the Cologne
Local Court is expected to take place on 17 March 2016. Admission of the
new shares to stock exchange trading on the regulated market (General
Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is anticipated on 18 March 2016,
with the inclusion of the new shares in the existing listing scheduled by
21 March 2016.
The net proceeds from the capital increase are to be used in particular for
the takeover of up to 68.3% of the stock in the Munich-based sport media
group in which _wige MEDIA AG already holds 16.7%. The sport media group
operates the motorsport-total.com and formel1.de portals. In addition, the
funds are to be deployed for the potential advance financing of major new
projects currently at the acquisition stage. The motorsport-total.com and
formel1.de portals are part of _wige MEDIA AG's digitalization strategy.
The company intends to forge ahead with the major projects planned.
The capital increase was supported by ODDO SEYDLER BANK AG as sole global
coordinator and book runner.
