Rights issue of Deutsche Wohnen AG successful - take-up quota of new shares at 132.3%
Frankfurt am Main, 8 October 2009. The capital increase of Deutsche Wohnen AG, the subscription period of which terminated yesterday, was positively received by the shareholders of the company. In the course of the capital increase 55,440,000 new ordinary bearer shares without par value (non-par-value shares), each representing a pro rata amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00 per share and carrying dividend rights from 1 January 2009 were issued against contributions in cash. Shareholders of the company were granted subscription rights. The subscription price was set at EUR 4.50 per share. The new shares are expected to be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from 9 October 2009.
Holders of subscription rights were able to acquire 21 new shares in return for ten subscription rights held. OCM Luxembourg Real Estate Investments S.à r.l. and OCM Luxembourg Opportunities Investments S.à r.l. have subscribed for shares in the total amount of EUR 54.8 m corresponding to 22.0 % of the total volume of the transaction.
The take-up quota (including additional subscription rights) was approx. 132.3 %, thereof 99.9 % were subscribed for by exercising subscription rights and an additional 32.3 % by exercising additional subscription rights in the subscription offer. New shares, for which the subscription rights were exercised, will be fully allocated to the subscription right holders. With regard to the exercised additional subscription rights, the remaining new shares will be allocated as described in the German Offering Circular published on 22 September 2009. The share capital of Deutsche Wohnen AG has been increased by EUR 55.44 m from EUR 26.4 m to EUR 81.8 m, upon the registration of the implementation of the capital increase with the commercial register on 7 October 2009. The offer is expected to conclude on 9 October 2009.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the capital increase will amount to approx. EUR 249.5 m. It is envisaged that about half of the expected aggregate net proceeds of approx. EUR 236.5 m will be used to reduce liabilities of the Deutsche Wohnen Group.
Michael Zahn, Chairman of the Management Board of Deutsche Wohnen AG, comments on the capital increase: 'The capital increase strengthens our financial resources and allows us to benefit from the currently unsettled property market by means of selective asset purchases. We are pleased that the shareholders of Deutsche Wohnen fully support our strategy, including the capital increase.'
BofA Merrill Lynch and UBS Investment Bank fully underwrote the capital increase and managed the transaction as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners.
