EQS-Adhoc: aconnic AG plans capital increase and placement of a convertible bond with a total volume of 18 million EUR

aconnic AG (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Munich, plans to increase the share capital against cash with a volume of 9 million EUR and to issue a convertible bond with a volume of 9 million EUR to strengthen equity and reduce debt.

For the planned capital raise aconnic will issue around 7 million new shares. The placement is planned with a subscription price of 1.30 EUR per share.

The convertible bond offered for subscription has a volume of 9 million EUR and a term of 7 years. The bond is unsecured and subordinated and will bear an interest rate of 9.00 percent per year. The convertible bond offers the option to be converted into newly issued shares at a price of 1.30 EUR per share during the term.

aconnic AG has concluded corresponding preliminary agreements with investors for the placement of the capital increase and the convertible bond. The capital measures require a resolution by the shareholders. aconnic will invite shareholders to an extraordinary general meeting (AGM) in April 2025 in Munich. The invitation to the AGM will be sent promptly and in time.

As the conditions of the planned capital increase and convertible bond are higher than those of the existing convertible bond issued in 2020, an extension of the term of this bond with unchanged conditions was agreed with the investor of the existing convertible bond until the planned capital measure is completed. This extension offers the company options for a possible lower dilution of the capital in the interests of the existing shareholders.

"This transaction strengthens the company's capital base. It supports us in developing new products, accelerating the international expansion and reducing our debt", says Werner Neubauer, CEO of aconnic AG.
