Schrobenhausen, Germany As part of the subscription offer that ended according to schedule on March 15, 2023, and the subsequent placement of new shares not subscribed by shareholders, BAUER Aktiengesellschaft was able to place 16,945,697 new shares against cash contribution and thus almost in full.

BAUER Aktiengesellschaft receives gross proceeds of around EUR 101.7 million from the capital increase through the issue of new shares in exchange for cash contributions. Net proceeds from the capital increase of approximately EUR 100.8 million will be used for the repayment of financial liabilities and thereby serve to increase the equity ratio.

SD Thesaurus GmbH, Munich, which had undertaken to acquire all new shares that were not purchased by company shareholders within the scope of their subscription rights at the purchase price, up to a maximum total amount of EUR 70 million, was issued 12,000,000 new shares. SD Thesaurus GmbH thus acquires shares amounting to 27.9% of the companys share capital.

Doblinger Beteiligung GmbH, Munich, acquires 2,900,000 new shares as part of the capital increase, which means that its share in the companys share capital, taking into account the shareholding already existing, is reduced to 24.9 %.

After the capital increase, the Bauer family holds 21.8% of the companys share capital.
We are thrilled that it was possible to implement the capital increase nearly in full. I would like to thank all participating shareholders and investors for their trust, says Peter Hingott, CFO of BAUER AG. With this step, we have laid a crucial foundation for the future and we are able to considerably improve our balance sheet situation again.

With recording of the execution of the capital increase in the Commercial Register, which is anticipated by Thursday, March 23, 2023, the total number of shares issued in the company will increase to 43.037.478 shares. It is expected that the new shares will be included in the existing listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and that they will be delivered to investors on Thursday, March 30, 2023, but no earlier than on the first stock exchange trading day following their admission to trading.
