Premstaetten, Austria (11 July 2016) - ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide
manufacturer of high performance sensor and analog solutions, has issued a
promissory note in the amount of EUR 175.5 million which will increase the
company's financial flexibility to support the future development of its
business. Given positive investor demand the transaction size was raised to EUR
175.5 million from an originally lower amount.
Benefitting from a supportive market environment, ams decided to issue its first

amount with European and Asian financial institutions. The amount raised is
split into two fixed and variable interest tranches, each comprising 5- and
7-year term portions.
